Students,
FCAT ECPLORER is due on Monday -no excuses!!!! You have had the assignment for the first two sections since December and January. The final piece was announced weeks ago.
Additional assignments that should be completed by class (Monday A and Tuesday B) include
Fusion p. 411, pp414-419, 422-423, and pp 426. If you received a GIZMO today it is due on Thursday.  The CGA will begin a week from Monday on 3/10. Every benchmark will be tested so look over your portfolio (Bday) to see where you need more help. A day will analyze their progress on Monday.  See you all next week. Ahoy- get those ships fully finished!

Tuesday's and Wednesday's topic is the Laws of Conservation of Mass and Energy. These are the assignments.
Complete p 410 and 411, and pp. 414-419 in Fusion.
Gizmo SEG only for Energy Conversions,
Finish FCAT EXPLORER by Monday.

Ending the Universe - just the unit!

A and B day, it's time to bring our time in space to a close. During your next class (Friday or Tuesday) we will review the Lesson Review p. 93, The Unit Summary p. 96, the Star Graphing Investigation, and the H-R Gizmo. Then there will be a short assessment. If you have been working all along this check based on the benchmarks we have studied should be fairly straightforward.
Be sure that all your work is complete and ready to go. There will be no time to waste during the class. The next unit is about life. We have a lot to accomplish before the next CGA which should be before Spring Break.
Keep working on FCAT Explorer. The ship should be complete no later than March 2. Your progress report will reflect your progress on the ship until 2/12/2014. I pulled the report yesterday.  I will not pull it again until March 3, 2014 so mateys, get that Explorer finished - ship shape and Bristol fashion by March 3 when I pull the report.

If you missed class on Monday or Tuesday then you will want to watch the video. Here is the link.

In addition you have to complete the Lesson Review 2-2 Stars 9p. 93) and the Unit 2 Summary p. 96. There's a Star Graphing assignment also. You can get the directions from me when you come to class.

Hint to Everyone... The graphing is much easier if you use scientific notation.
