          | HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT SCHEDULE 
 
 Below are listed homework assignments for Mr. Gibbs' grade 8 science class.   Each week, I will post weekly homework assignments  - feel free to email me at any time if you have any questions or need clarifications.  Please check back frequently - updates will be posted as new assignments occur.
 
 
 IMPORTANT - students are reminded that "real time" updates occur on the whiteboard in class and should be recorded in their agenda books - the homework postings here are to be used as an emergency backup, as well as a resource for parents to see what each week in science will entail.
 
 
 Most recent assignments are listed at the top of the page - assignments are organized by the week
