January 12, 2010

Word of the day: subtle

Reminders:
1. Thanks to the people who've returned their ski forms and fees. If you haven't returned the forms, please do so ASAP. Thanks.
2. There will be a science quiz on Friday.
3. Students, show your parents the finger calculator we learned about today. Remember it only works for the 9 times table.


We were discussing what would happen if an earthworm were to be chopped in two - some students remarked that they'd heard two earthworms would grow from the 2 pieces. Go to
http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/earthworm.html

to see if 2 earthworms WILL grow from one poor little chopped-in-half one. The answer is somewhere on that page!
