In order to understand a general question scientists sometimes look at a specific case.

Food contains certain substances that organisms can use for energy to do things. Those substances also

provide building materials for the organism for growth and repair.

Organisms are either producers or consumers. They make their own food (plants) or they consume food

that comes either directly or indirectly from producers.

In an effort to increase instruction time and collaboration, the Valley View School District is opting to switch to a block schedule for its middle school students.

During the 2018-2019 school year, all five Valley View middle schools will be moving from a seven-period daily schedule to a four-period “block” schedule. Start and end times will not change, but the length of each class period will change to 82 minute blocks of time.

According to the district students’ schedules will rotate in between an “A Day” and a “B Day and will have four classes each day. All students will have Math and Language Arts every day and will have STEM, Social Studies, and PE every other day. In addition students will have the choice between Band or Careers/WIN for their final course, which will also meet every other day.
