What's Due When????

As you all know the AQ's for the Gizmos Element Builder and Balancing Equations were due on Monday morning. Due to some confusion about what time they were due I pulled them again this afternoon. Those grades will be updated later this week. If you did not do your AQ's you may submit a print out of a screenshot, a copy of the graded questions, or a note from your parent stating your grade. You must also include a statement about why this activity is being submitted late and your parents must sign the statement. Get those results and statements to me by the 3pm on  FRIDAY, May 9. I will NOT accept electronic messages for these activities.

The AQ's for Ionic Bond should be finished and ready to be pulled electronically by 8AM FRIDAY morning. That's May 9th. The bucket work should be finished when you walk into class either Wednesday or Thursday. Grades will be posted ASAP and a zero will be entered until you submit your work. There will be a 10% penalty each class period for late work for buckets 1-6.

Covalent Bonding may be logged in any class period through Tuesday, May 13. If you have the Algebra EOC during class you may have an extension until I see you during the next class.

STEAM CHALLENGE # 1 began yesterday. We will continue working on it for one more class (at least). Make sure you wear closed toe shoes and have a bottle for the rocket launcher.

STEAM CHALLENGE # 2 will be announced next week. Don't worry, we will work around EOC schedules as we plan our days of work.

Scrimmage Grades and NEW unit - you need some materials for class.

I intend to have the scrimmage grades posted for your progress reports. Some of you had to do them at home because you were absent. If you have not returned your bubble sheet to me then I can't scan it. I will scan bubble sheets one more time during my planning at 5th period. I will be in the hall prior to 5th period. You may bring me your bubble sheets then. If the scan works your grade will be reflected on your progress report. If you did not do the scrimmage for any reason or your bubble sheet did not scan, your grade will reflect a zero until you take the scrimmage. I will allow you to make it up in class while the other students make rockets on Monday or Tuesday.

We will begin our STEAM Unit on Monday. You will need a soft drink bottle or water bottle to make a rocket launcher. You will also need your own clear (scotch ) tape. I will provide the other materials. Bring your empty bottle to class. on Monday or Tuesday.
