Welcome to Ms. Miller's 8th grade Science Class
I believe that if you give it your best effort we can become #1 in Science in the county.
Students were given their log in information for the Explorelearning Gizmo Lab accounts, my.hrw.com book log in information and set up their Interactive Notebooks and began their first Density observation Lab. All students have done an 8th grade Formative Science Test and have anaylized their results.
Students have homework every night in Science. They can be working on their Gizmo Labs, Science Fair projects and my.hrw.com activities and quizzes. Students are to record data accurately in their ISN's, analyze data and write their conclusions using the F.R.I.E.S model.
Safety Contract was given to all students and should be signed and turned back in to Ms. Miller by now. 9/9/2010
Scientific Method and Science Fair Projects...see Mrs. Pam Smith's blog for details, however ideas and questions for projects should all be underway. 9/9/2010 http://nefrsef.org/ the paper work needs to be completed and signed in BLUE INK and approved before science fair projects are started.
Density is the focus of lessons from week one to 9/7/2010
9/7/2010 Benchmark Science Test, OPEN HOUSE
Week of 9/7/2010 Waves....page 280-303, create the flip chart on page 280, read the chapter and write down any word that you do not understand in your Interactive Science Notebook.
Students wrote the requirements of the curriculum for science in their agendas today to help them prioritize their time.
