Sunday, 3/11

Tomorrow, you will complete your notecard for Tuesday's Review Activity. You will do this alone but using the card you made in class. When finished, you can go to the blog and copy and paste the webquest and paste it into a Pages document. You can begin this alone and, when all papers are turned in, you can work in pairs, but each much complete a paper. Following the Review on Tuesday, you can work on your webquest.

The Long-Term Observation presentation has been changed to Wednesday, March 21. You will have approximately 3 days of in class time to work on your presentation. Take the time to read over your proposal to see what you said you were going to do (take photos, collect specimens, etc) and make sure that you did it! Make sure you have EVIDENCE of what you observed!

Saturday, February 4 (From Houston!)

GO PATS!! Can't believe I'm not going to see the Super Bowl! The conference has been awesome! Lots of space and lots of pictures to show my classes! We will be doing Galileo's experiment on Monday or Tuesday!

Sunday, 1-22-12 During the Pats/Ravens game!

Half-time is over and we're in the third quarter. Tomorrow, we will be doing the catapults - OUTSIDE so wear your jackets to class! On Tuesday, we will be cutting our food into small pieces and will be finding the mass of each sample. We will store them in ziplock bags for burning on Wednesday.

Sunday, 1/16

Don't forget! You should be doing your observations and, remember, the first engineering challenge is due on Thursday, 1/19! I didn't get sketches from all students and it counted as a grade. Also, check to see that you got credit for all 4 density activities! The quarter ends on Thursday (remember, we go to Voc-10 on Friday). If you are missing a lab, you can come in during lunch any day to complete your labs.

Wednesday, 1/11 20 facts!

With one partner, come up with 20 things you learned about density from the activities we did in class. Bullets are fine. Insert this into your Noteshare journal.

Sunday, 1/8/12

Yea to the Saints and Go Tebow! (unless they play us!) :) Hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you were able to get an observation in with the snow! Your first observation notebook check will be Thursday, 1/26. At that time, you need to have a copy of your proposal, a blank site-map (one of the 10 I copied for you), 3 completed observation sheets and your planning calendar. I won't collect them, but will check them. If you are working with another student, you only need one notebook for the 2 of you.

Tomorrow, you will be completing the graph for your density of water lab. When you are finished, you can do some planning for your challenge!

Monday, 1-2 See you tomorrow!

Tomorrow, we will talk about the Long Term Observations and you will get a chance to catch up with your partner if you have one. Also, I will be letting you know if you are missing work.
