DEAR STUDENT,

THE END OF THE YEAR IS NOW HERE AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT THAN DR. WARD'S SCIENCE CLASS!!! LET ME JUST REMIND ALL OF YOU THAT YOU MUST PASS A SCIENCE REGENTS IN ORDER FOR YOU TO GRADUATE FROM ANY SCHOOL IN NEW YORK STATE.

YOU WILL HAVE THREE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM IN ORDER TO PASS YOUR PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR CLASS:

1) SEED PROJECT - YOU HAD AN ASSIGNMENT IN WHICH YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO GROW A PLANT FROM A PACKET OF SEEDS AND KEEP A JOURNAL A FEW TIMES A WEEK AS TO THE PROGRESS OF IT'S GROWTH!!! BRING IN THE PLANT AND DISCUSS THE PROCESS YOU HAD TO FOLLOW IN ORDER FOR YOUR PLANT TO GO FROM SEED TO ADULT

2) DRAWING PROJECT - YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO GET AN ADULT DOLL/ACTION FIGURE AND TAKE ALL OF THE BODY DIMENSION MEASUREMENTS AS WELL AS YOUR OWN AND DRAW THEM BOTH TO YOUR EXACT DIMENSIONS. DISCUSS THE PROCESS YOU HAD TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS AND TRANSRIBE THEM TO PAPER. HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO MAKE THE DOLL/ACTION FIGURE YOUR SIZE? WHAT OTHER KNOWLEDGE FROM OTHER CLASSES DID I HAVE TO USE IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROJECT FINISHED?

3) DISECTION PROJECT - YOU DISECTED BOTH THE FETAL PIG AND YOUR GROUPS CHOICE BETWEEN THE RABBIT, FROG, OR CAT. WE LEARNED ABOUT OUR ANATOMY AS WELL, BEFORE WE DID ANY DISECTIONS!!! EXPLAIN HOW THESE ANIMALS WERE SIMILAR/DIFFERENT! HOW MUCH DIFFERENT WERE THEIR ORGAN SYSTEMS FROM OURS?

I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK!!!
KEEP ON TRYING, DON'T GIVE UP!!!
