Weekly Review/Preview & Fun Website of the Week!

This past week, we continued working on reviewing and understanding scientific methods and improving our metric measurement skills. This upcoming week, we will continue working on both.

Need help with metric measurement (or the 24 hour clock)?

Try this site (when you enter your answers, click on the bubble, "Are you right?" to see the correct answer and move on to the next slide. Try it here.

More help and practice can be found here. The metric activities are to the right.

Due to Labor Day on Monday and CoGat testing on Tuesday and Wednesday, we will only have homework Wednesday night, and there will be no learning log this week or next. First period will have a small work packet sent home Tuesday that is due on Friday. All classes will have a Performance Assessment ( a practical application test) that will be worth a test grade.

ATTENTION: Online Quiz Opportunities for Effort Points!

After submitting, e-mail the results to me at charmagne.quenan@cobbk12.org for effort credit!

One: Self-Quiz and in Spanish, here
Two: CRCT style
Three: Density

Fun Website of the Week: Astronomy Picture of the Day

When I was in junior high, I spent hours in the library, reading Astronomy magazine, looking at the cool pictures and dreaming of being an astronomer. I would've LOVED this site!

Do I have to do that test?

Mrs. Q. said...

No, Gabriel, you don't have to do anything. It's an option. BUT...it's not a bad idea to try it to make sure you kow what's going on.

(and I'm assuming you're talking about the online test, and not the performance assessment - that you have to do. Sorry.)

The entire thing was just so sudden. One day he's wranging crocks, and the next day he's killed by a Sting Ray. At least he wasn't killed by an aligator or a crock. (Everyone would say "I told you his job would one day get him killed.") While his job did ultimatly lead to his death, it wasn't a bite that did it, It was a sting. By one of the "Worlds Most Dangerous Sea Creatures" (The name of the show he was filming for when he was stabbed.

Davis - I heard that the stingray wasn't even going to referred to as one of the "most dangerous creatures" in the show, because it's really not that dangerous normally.
