Odds and Ends before Thanksgiving Break

  • The link to the on-line textbook is http://my.hrw.com/ . Did you know the book will read to you? Try it for the assignment listed below or if you want to review as you do your test corrections.
  • Test Corrections are due on or before 12/6. No late corrections will be acctepted.
  • Science Project reminder. Remember, if you don't have an adequate sample size you will not be able to develop a good conclusion.
  • If you find yourself without a do-able  science project or you have just realized that you don't have a large enough sample size, or you don't have time to do your project and have it ready by December 7 (A Day) or December 8 (B Day) then go to http://www.explorelearning.com/ and pick a gizmo like Growing Plants, Plants and Snails, Germination, or Effect of Environment on New Life Forms. Choose a question, Form a Hypothesis, Gather Data, and do everything just like a real time experiment. Everyone has a project due - on time.  
  • You will bring your project board and your data log on your due date.
  • Remember to save all of your computer work.  If you are invited to go to the school science fair you will be asked to complete your research paper which is just a formalization of your project board along with an introduction and a few other short sections.  
  • You will present your project to your peers.
  •  If you want to get a jump on next week's assignments do the following: Read pp. 210 - 211 and pp. 212-215 in your GREEN science book. Answer the Benchmark Check questions. Write your answers in your ISN. These will have to be finished before you participate in the 2 labs for the week.
  • Wear LAB SHOES each day next week.
  • Have a nice break.
