You guys did a GREAT job!!

MONDAY'S PLANS

Monday we are having a surprise test - if you are reading this it is your lucky day!!!! The test covers states of matter, calculating density, the atom's structure and a few other chemistry related items (don't want to give away the whole surprise).

Don't forget to continue working on your Glogster portfolio.  The four "posters" are due Thursday, and each glogster needs to contain scientific explanations and examples of each title along with any music or videos or animations that may help explain the topics.

You may also use page 320 in your green textbook for assistance.
On page 17 do the following:

• list each layer
• give the thickness of each layer
• what is the state of matter for each layer
• what is the composition for each layer
• what is the temperature of each layer

I'M BACK!!!!!

First, I must extend my HUGEST apologies for allowing several months to pass without posting, commenting or challenging.....BUT I am back and you will be challenged.

I hope you all enjoyed a fabulous Christmas holiday and are ready to hit the road running to get ready for being in high school. We have about 2 weeks left with Chemistry and then we start a new topic. We'll be studying "Earth Science" which happens to be my favorite topic!!!!!! Earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering, erosion.....may not sound like fun, but you'll see when we get there. LOTS of labs and lots of high school material, so you'll be good and ready when next year gets here.

Give me your thoughts, let me know what you want to see here and STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!!
Thanks for your patience!
