We started the week by revisiting the Scientific Method. Students practiced how to properly write testable hypotheses by utilizing both the independent and dependent variables in an experiment. Students were also challenged with various examples and identifying the constants and controls of experiments. We wrapped up our unit on the Scientific Method on Thursday with a quiz.
On Friday, we became a little more familiar with the placement of "Learning Targets and Graded Material"( the first tab) in our binders. Students are becoming more familiar with the organization piece of the class.
Today "Preparation Points" were introduced to the students. I am expecting that students come to class, prepared with their binder, assignment notebook, homework and writing utencils. If a student forgets something in his/her locker, I will let him/her go and retreive it, though I will take "1" point off of their "Prepartion Points" grade.
Have a great weekend!
