    Context: Reconnecting

    Big Ideas: 

    We have become distanced from each other and in some ways isolated - from school, each other and sometimes ourselves.  This term we focus on discovering what makes us unique and reconnecting with others.  Our focus in Science will be to learn about our body - cells, cell division & genetics which makes us who we are.
