For the next 6 to 7 weeks we will be covering a new topic, Sound and Light, and switching to a new textbook. Classroom sets for this text will be used each day, therefore, all assignments from text will be done in class. If assignments are not completed in class, it will need to be completed for homework, I will provide a copy of the sections of the textbook on my blog.
The ongoing homework will be to review notes, class assignments, and study guide handouts. All binders must be well maintained and organized.

This is a resource for use by parents of students in the sixth grade Physical Science course at Scottsdale Preparatory Academy. View upcoming events and assignments as well as links to videos and other media featuring science content. Note that any tentative FUTURE assignment which has been posted in the homework section is subject to change. Be sure to check back on the day of the assignment for any updates.
Tutoring starts next week on Wednesday's and Friday's during Lyceum from 12:35 to 1pm in the library.
