This blog is the cyber-spot to find out what's happening in all the middle school and high school Science classes at Carrizozo Municipal Schools. I will post links to interesting and helpful websites, keep parents and students up to date with how the year is progressing, and make any PowerPoint presentations shown in class available for download . It will also serve as a forum for me to receive feedback.
