September 12

Today in Integrated science, students finalized their votes for the constant or non-constant questions, and then worked on their lab reports. There were some examples (including those below). Lab reports are due tomorrow! Integrated also needed to finish the reading questions that they did not get to last Thursday.

Lab Report 1
Lab Report 2

Also Integrated: 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?

 

Science 8 spent some time looking at the map of Ohio and identifying the different features that indicate glaciation. There will be a quiz Wednesday where students will be asked to do this task again in a different area, as well as identify features created by glaciers and what processes created them. Afterwards, students worked on the Layered Earth app in the computer, lessons D3-3, D3-4, and D3-5. At Home,
Glacier Activity.
