The second week of science was again very productive. Students explored kinetic and potential energy by participating in a series of 8 stations that required writing, drawing, organizing, watching/listening, and reading. Station work requires all students to demonstrate self-discipline and maturity as they rotate to each location-some classes are needing direct instruction on PRIDE expectations related to this lesson format. I will continue to review expectations and post behavior expectations for each location.
I am enjoying reading the movie trailer indexcards-thanks to all who invested time in the assignment! 7/1 students took their first interpreting data quiz Friday 7/21-scores are in powerschool. Friday 7/28 all 7/1 will have their first science unit test on kinetic/potential energy and energy transfers/transformations. Science homework this week: Watch the Bill Nye the science guy energy video that can be found on you tube. The video reviews, reinforces, and is an enjoyable way to prepare for Friday's unit test. While watching the video you will need to complete the video study guide-I will hand out on Monday. The video is about 30 minutes long. This video and the stations we will be doing this week will prepare you for the unit test. Yes, there are many ways to "take shortcuts-DON'T. Find 40 minutes between today-Sunday and Thursday to sitdown, focus, watch, listen and complete your work with attention to quality and excellence.

Since work posts on Sunday and you have several days to find and make time for science success, due dates and grading is firm.
