Today in Integrated Science, students reviewed their tests from the car crash lab. Based on their results, students were presented with two options moving forward: 1) write a lab report with 10 points of it being the car crash, or 2) write a new lab report based off new and old data and make the car crash extra credit (wrinkle: no old data needed if you hit the A or B zone). Students got to work and received altered cars that move differently. We also passed back the practice-writing-algebraic-equations-from-a-graph worksheet, and students learned where their strengths and weaknesses are for the quiz that will happen onĀ  Thursday.

Science 8 today received back their feedback from the project and the peer evaluations, and we spent some time talking about the reflections we can do to earn back credit. Students will have to identify where they performed less than awesome, and then determine why their score was lower. Then they will reflect on what they could do to improve their work. Afterwards, students went through the Weathering and Climate Module and continued work on their idea webs, which will be presented Thursday.
