Good luck tomorrow!

I know you'll all do great but I just wanted to send out one more reminder about tomorrow's Chapter 1-2 Test. We did a review in class. Also, Chapter 3, Section 1 Vocabulary is due on Thursday. Make sure you come prepared tomorrow for the test - you will need a blue or black ink pen.

Chapter 1-2 Test

Chapter 1-2 Test will be on September 30. Please start reviewing your notes and the chapter. We will only have one day in class spent on review. This test will be worth approximately 60 points. Be prepared!

Tonight's homework

Today in class with did a Quick Lab called The Speed of a Simple Computer. Anything that you did not finish on that sheet is for homework tonight. This includes the vocabulary activity on the back. Make sure you use your book and notes as a resource to answer the back!

Bonus opportunity - Highlight the title "Vocabulary Activity" and write "I love science" next to it for 5 bonus points.

Concept map homework

Don't forget to finish the concept map we started in class. It is #22 on page 35. The words to use to fill in are: hypotheses, conclusions, observations, scientists, results, scientific methods, and experiments. I hope you drew the concept map in your notebook. I'll be checking it tomorrow.

Make sure your notebooks are in order.... I'll be checking them soon.

Tonight's homework

Just a reminder. Tonight's homework is to finish chapter 1 end of chapter review on pages 34-35. Complete numbers 1-16. All answers should be in complete sentences.

Just a friendly reminder

Remember: When you are absent it is your responsibility to get your make up work. Even if you ask me for it and I am busy and say I'll get it to you - it is still your responsibility to remind me until I get you all the work. I am a busy person and want to make sure you get everything but I have no way of knowing what you need unless you tell me. Don't be afraid to ask multiple times - I don't mind.

Quiz scores are in. I'm in the middle of entering them into Pinnacle. The lowest quiz grade was a 0 and the highest was a 20 out of 18 (so these people got everything right and also got the bonus questions). Check Pinnacle to see how you did compared to your classmates.

Also - tomorrow starts benchmark testing. Don't forget your sharpened #2 pencils. You'll need them tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Labor Day weekend. Enjoy your three days off. Don't forget to study your vocab words from chapter 1 for a vocab quiz on Tuesday.

And here's to college football starting...
Go Gators! (okay and good luck to the other FL teams too....)

The Scientific method

We have been reviewing the scientific method in class. Today you were assigned a crossword puzzle for homework that is due tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the due date for having your notebooks decorated. This is an easy 20 point assignment.

Also, study those vocabulary words. There is a vocab quiz on Tuesday, September 8 when we return from Labor Day.
