Today's class 10-10-11

Today I handed out the review for the 9 weeks exam.  The class took the class period to go over that filling in the answers.  I also told each student what their average was for the class and what they needed to make on their 9 weeks exam to either pass, stat the same, or move up a letter grade.

9 Weeks Review

Complete the review and get your parent to sign it at the top of the first page for extra points on the 9 weeks exam.
*The review must be 100% completed and signed to get the points.

Friday's Class 10/7/11

Today we took the Energy test and the students seemed to do very good on those.  I will have the grades posted soon for viewing.

Analysis of Photosynthesis Shoe-Box Project

On pg.29 write a summary of your project
Describe why you made your shoebox the way you did.
Describe whether your plant did or did not grow and why you believe it did or did not grow.
Give a final analysis of the success of your shoebox maze.
This should be between 2 to 3 paragraphs long.

I will be checking it during the exam.
