My Science Homework

After discussing the ice storm and its impact on our schedule, we continued working on the research project.  We have bumepd the presentations for this project until AFTER BREAK.  That means we will continue to use in-class time to research and construct the project, but will not present the project to the class until January.
We […]

After spending several class days (as well as an after-school study session attended by about 50 students Wednesday) preparing for this chemistry test, students got it out of the way today.  The test is worth 50 points and will show up in PowerSchool by Monday AM.
Reminder:  Class will not meet tomorrow due to the state […]

Today students completed their first test of the semester. The test covered the first half of our experimental design unit: the scientific method, observations versus inferences, the metric system, conversions, graphing, and variables.
Unfortunately, I’m not swift enough to grade 145 of these tests overnight, thus the grades will not show up on PowerSchool […]

Today was all about test preparation. With this being the first test of the new year, we have taken a conservative approach to the study by walking through all of the steps for proper prepration. We started today’s class by passing back some graded papers and labs. We then organized these resources […]

We concluded our work with the metric system today by tying up several loose ends. We first defined two terms that will apply to much of our experimental unit: quantitative and qualitative. Remember the “N” reminds us of numbers, the “L” of letters. We then examined 3 significant reasons why the […]
