September 8

Integrated science:
1. Collect and analyze your data from 1 good run: Please use video equipment (cell phones) to reduce human errors!
2. Analyze data and determine whether the car moves at constant rate or changing speed. Have a graph, data table to present, and conclusion.
3. Finish Constant Velocity worksheet 1.3 in your notebook.
4. Reading Article: Swimming Timing and do questions in your notebook
1) Describe the challenges that led to the current timing systems.
2) What are some of the ways the timing systems now reduce human errors?
3) List three considerations that the timing systems need to take to make sure they are accurate and viable in water. (you may have to think about this one).
4)  Discuss what you would feel if you were a swimmer in the pool. Are you confident in the timing? What if you tied and you didn’t get to advance? How precise do you think it should be, and how accurate do you think it is?
5. Work on your lab report

Science 8
1. Take your quiz retake (if necessary) on Illuminate. If you have other assessments to take, please do those also if time permits.
2. Reading Assignment and Questions (Massive Meltdown:Earth’s glaciers are melting into the seas at an alarming rate). Answer all questions in your notebook under the title ” Massive Meltdown article”.
Question 1) What is the cause of the melting glaciers?
         Question 2) What is one of the biggest concerns with melting glaciers?
         Question 3) Describe the Finding that the study found concerning how meltwater connects with temperature.
        Question 4)Do you think it is important for scientists to do dangerous work like Overstreet’s to learn about ice melting? Why or why not? Would you want to do this type of research?
3. On a new page in your Notebook, create a section for notes on Glaciers weathering, erosion, and deposition features. Take notes while doing the      Glacier Activity. Then click the “interactive science”. password is “read”. Search for “glacier”

Glacier Activity

September 7

Today in class, students in integrated spent some time presenting their information on whiteboards and debating whether their cars move at constant velocity or changing velocity. The students also determined that they should present graphs, data, and maybe short procedural information in their presentations, and we agreed upon a way to reduce reaction time error. On Friday, we will collect the data again and determine whether the cars move at constant or changing velocity.

Students in science 8 began learning about glaciers today! After viewing several pictures of glacial erratics and discussing where we’ve seen them before, students learned that higher amounts of energy can cause large and small sediments to be mixed together, including large boulders with tinier rocks. Students analyzed a map of Ohio to look for evidence of glaciation, which they will share on Friday.
