Science – study for Glaciers test
Anyone who is wondering about the Science test. I told the children they only needed to study what is in their Science notebooks. This includes notes we took on glaciers, three worksheets they did for homework and which we went over in class, and notes about their observations of the lab work we did with glaciers. Of course they can bring home the text (Glaciers pages C32 - 37) to review. They need to know what glaciers are, how they form, how they move, and how they change the land.
