Yeah! Science Fair is over and graded!

We had 10 projects on our team move on to the School Science Fair. Three of those projects placed and will go on to Districts. The three winners were given their paperwork on Friday and must register by Monday. So proud of all of you!!
The grades for the second nine weeks looked so good. So, I will put the Science Fair as a boost for the third nine weeks. The Gizmo Cell structure will be the third nine weeks, students grading of the projects, and a cell activity worksheet.

Homework and Science Fair

11/8-11/9- I have  met with each student about Science Fair. Everyone has had their projects approved, except for a few. I would like to remind students and parents not to use vertebrates as experiment subjects. All information and a step by step plan can be found at http://www.nefrsef.org/ under the student section. There is also a form wizard under rules. I have gone over all of this information several times in class. The students who had me for Team Time have had two weeks on this subject.

11/8-11/9- Homework read p 212-215, questions p 215,1-6
11/10-11/14- video on Changing Florida

End of the nine weeks and Science Project

Parents; please remember an update to the Grade Portal can take a few days. This is beyond my control. I usually grade and return papers to my students by the next class they attend. The student usually has the paper back before it shows on the Grade Portal. You should only worry if the grades don't change over a few weeks. No Grade-means the assignment has been entered in the computer but the not graded yet or not averaged into the grade yet. It is how the program is designed.



The schedule this next week.

10/24-25 Sling it Humidity

Directed Reading p 134-141 (guided outline)
