FMS+7th+notes

Different things we discussed:

- Our results with the Fast Growth Project were very limited. Could it be reduced to class instead of groups of 2-3? - Science Fair takes up way too much class time for the benefits that the students received - Curriculum concerns:
 * metric measurement...more!!
 * ecology does not include enough about consumer/producer relationships (prey/predator) or erosion
 * too much time spent on genetics
 * sequencing topics jumps in the wrong order
 * first: metric/safety/graphs/scientific method/science fair; chemistry
 * second: solutions/mixtures; physical/chemical properties
 * third: genetics (5-6 weeks)
 * fourth: ecology- biotic/abiotic, rainforest (life in the balance)
