February 3 - 7 | Chemistry
Students will continue their Chemical Bonding Project, present their products to peers in a gallery walk, and then practice essential chemistry unit concepts with their peers.
February 17 - 21 | Biomolecules
Students will continue their study of biomolecules by learning about protein synthesis through a video, foldable, and acting it out as a class. They will practice transcription and translation to synthesize their own protein bracelet. Students will end the week by completing TELPAS Writing Samples.

Technology Exploration
March 2 - 6 | Cells
Project Cell is a non-profit that has noticed something: learning about cells can be challenging. They are launching a national contest for students to create interactive products to help others learn about plant and animal cell organelles, their structure, functions, and how they all work together. Students will begin this two-week project, explore tech components to include in the final products, and begin making their products.

February 10 - 14 | Biomolecules
Students will begin their biomolecules unit by investigating the properties of lipids and carbohydrates, then create candy models of nucleic acids.
February 24 - 28 | Biomolecules & Cells
Students will summarize their study of chemistry and biomolecules by creating trading cards personifying biomolecules, practicing problems, and playing a Kahoot game as a class. They will also begin their cell unit with a microscopy lab and will create their own candy cells.

March 9 - 13 | Cells
Students will continue to make their plant and animal cell products to submit for Project Cell's national contest.
At the end of the week, students will then present a pitch to the class why Project Cell should use their creative product to teach others about cells and then they will have time to explore other students' interactive projects. Students will also reflect on their work throughout the project period.
