This document contains daily agendas and homework assignments for science classes in grades 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th over a 5 day period. Each day covers different topics related to systems, including Boyle's law, Charles' law, the water cycle, and ecosystems. Students completed labs on cloud formation and gas laws, readings on systems, and assignments like diagrams, calculations, and reflections in their science notebooks. Quizzes were given at the end of the week to assess understanding of these topics.
