Water Cycle

Your job today is to research the water cycle.  You need to complete the vocabulary sheet (SHEET) and save it to your folder on your computer.  I will check it out when I return next week.  Use this website to find the definitions.  Everyone who completes the vocabulary sheet (using your own words to define each concept) will receive a special bonus.  You will also receive extra credit if you can draw, using the Paint program (Start--Programs--Accessories) your own version of the water cycle.

Plants

We're now ready for the next step:  studying plants.  You'll be viewing this PowerPoint and creating a new vocabulary list in Word.  You should be able to find definitions from the Internet for Lesson 1 (Form and Function) and Lesson 2 (Photosynthesis).  I thought that you could use this website to help you complete the vocabulary.
