Mrs. Braxton’s Science Class at CMS

Hello all, and thanks for visiting my blog. On this site you’ll find the assignments for science and important information for this year.

This week we will continue to celebrate plants as we move into Chapter 7.  Chapter 7 is about Plant Reproduction and we will examine how seedless and seed plants undergo reproduction.

Makeup tests! If you miss a test, that test can be made up at 7:30 in the morning. Please check with me the day before you plan to come to make sure I will be available.

Thanks
