Teaching Middle School Science

The Earth Science class has been in Utah learning about geology and getting red sand in their shoes and I was with them until Wednesday night.  I am now a little behind.  Anyhow, here is a link to the table of contents for the notebook.

Table of Contents pdf

As I learn about this new tool (new to me anyway) I make adjustments to accommodate what is possible and what I want. Apparently it is bad form to have multiple flash players up at once. I have three. And was trying to add a fourth. So I will turn the flash video players into links as soon as I update the site with something new.
I am still having trouble making Teachertube play nice with my blog, but Edublogs.TV seem to be okay. as long as there is only one up at a time.

As I will be gone part of next week I will try to load up the blog with lots of info over the weekend.

Here is a video tutorial for using the Glencoe site for the weekly homework.

Hello!

Monday: Homework, due Thursday read chapter2 section 3 and answer the 5 self-check questions.  Write up model car speed lab, notes on distance time graphing.

Tuesday: Distance Time graphing, Acceleration, Remember to come in at lunch to make up or retake last weeks quiz. This is the only chance to make up the speed quiz from last week.

Wednesday: Quiz on distance time graph and homework 1-3.  Science Club after school.

Thursday: Graphing Practice.

Earth Science

Monday:  Read field trip packet, study for the test on Thursday.  Model car Acceleration lab.

Tuesday:  Discuss Lab, homework. Newton’s three laws

Wednesday: Discuss homework, sample questions from test, Newton’s laws

East really does benefit from the magazine fund raiser!  Please help out by purchasing or renewing your magazines with an East student.

Hey, did you know Glencoe has great support availible for science on line?  Click here to go to the site.  It has videos, quizzes,  projects and sample tests.  And sometimes I will accept the activities for credit!.  There is an on-line text availbe also.  You will need to get the password from Mr. Warner to access this feature.

Here is another set of notes from my summer physics class, so no whining.
