Science 8 Review Guide

For those of you getting a head start on Wednesday's Test, here is a review guide. Make sure you understand each term's definition and how it describes motion and/or energy. I'll have a paper copy for you Monday.

One Way Mission To Mars

In Earth Science we briefly discussed the 2024 planned, one way, mission to Mars. Who would sign up for a one way trip to Mars, with no plan to return to Earth? Well, apparently 200,000 people have applied for the mission! For some insights on their thoughts, here is an 11 minute video about their decision to try to be on the team that makes the trip:   Mars One Way

For those of you more concerned with having fun, I mean learning about science on Earth, click here for a simulation of kinetic and potential energy at a skate park. Have fun!
