We are working on designing and carrying out a DNA Extraction Investigation! Please check in to see what we are up to! Relevant documents will be posted as we go. This Investigation will result in a lab report.
Important Notes: --> I have encouraged all students on PAPER to use a plastic sheet protector to help them organize their papers for this lab. They should keep everything in there and always put the newest information on top. --> I have encouraged all students on GOOGLE CLASSROOM to work from ONE document. (Click HERE) They should NOT "turn in" anything on google classroom in until I ask them to submit their rough draft in class. --> The dates listed below may vary by class and are approximate-please check Engrade for due dates.

The CK12 assignment titled "Cells and Microscopes" is due this evening and will be checked during the day tomorrow. If you are still having trouble please use the screen shots below to help you. The assignment must be 100% completed to get credit. Assignments not completed today will be given half credit on Tuesday and will remain an "M" after that.
**Google chrome seems to work best. You need to make sure you update your browsers regularly to ensure that all websites work properly! NOTE: Students who are working on Independent Study projects in 601 and 602 do NOT have to completed this assignment-you will see an "E" in Engrade meaning you are Excused and it does not count. If you do the assignment you will get credit for it.
The Exam for Unit 1 will be given this week during each class's double period. A copy of the review sheet is posted on Google Classroom and was given to students who work on paper only on Friday. Download the Review Sheet HERE. Exam Dates: 602 & 604: Wednesday 1/21 601 & 603: Thursday 1/22
All students were asked to save quizzes. They SHOULD have kept them in their binders or in a folder at home. If they have not kept them in a safe place, students can see old exams here.
Now that we have had time in class to use google classroom, please try to experiment at home to make sure you know how to access the site on your computer or tablet.
Things to remember:
I am working on creating resource folders for Science so you can easily access charts, worksheets, etc at home. Stay tuned... Please read the following to make sure you get credit for corrections going forward. I'm not trying to be mean-reviewing the material and reflecting on your quiz is for your benefit. You will earn your points back AND learn from your mistakes with hard work-not by rushing through it and handing it in to say you did it. Extra credit is not just given, it is earned with extra effort.
If you need help completing corrections outside of class you need to make an appointment for extra help at lunch. In order to get credit for Quiz #2 Corrections and Future Exams and Quizzes, please make sure you have the following done: 1. Your quiz AND corrections sheets must be signed by a parent. 2. Your quiz AND corrections sheets must be attached to one another-please staple at home. 3. You MUST complete all parts of the corrections sheet.
Quiz GradesI have graded the online submissions for Quiz #1 and those grades are posted on Engrade. Physical tests will be finished by Sunday evening-check after 8PM. If a student is unhappy with the grade they earned, they can do corrections to earn back half of their points. I will send them home with an explanation of how that works with their quiz on TUESDAY-I am changing it slightly from last year so that is not ready just yet. You may not see your bonus question yet-that will be added before Tuesday. Decimals AssignmentStudents who scored 60% and below on the nearpod decimals activity are being asked to complete an online activity for more practice. Your score from the nearpod activity is posted as a comment. I am advising that you review the nearpod assignment, then take the quiz attached to the "More Decimals Practice" assignment on Engrade. It can also be accessed through this link: http://www.problem-attic.com/public/gtpdwp32/test If you have an "E" for the "More Decimals Practice" assignment you do NOT have to do it. If you see a "-" or a " /5" you DO have to do the assignment. Doing the assignment with an "E" does not give you extra credit-you might benefit from extra practice and you will get a 5/5 for HW. Class Work from FridayIf you did not complete the assignment I left for you while I was at a PD Friday, I am expecting that you finish it at home. You may come by before lunch Monday if you have any questions about it-a sub will be with my classes all Day Monday while I work on grading the citywide MoSL/Pre-Test you took on Wednesday. I will be in 222 during lunch.
Textbooks were handed out this week! Please make sure you keep your book in a safe place. You will only need to bring it back once in June! It is $56 to replace it if you lose it!
I hope you are enjoying your summer! As you are preparing for the new school year, I wanted to remind you to make sure you have your supplies for Science no later than September 10th. Please see the supply list to make sure you get everything you need!
