Wednesday

The tests and essays were handed back today. We discussed the importance of accuracy in scientific writing. Students were reminded that spelling, handwriting and capitalization do matter. We also discussed the importance of doing your own work.

We observed our eggs today. The egg in the corn syrup is getting much smaller, while the eggs in the salt water and plain water continue to grow. Tomorrow we will weigh all three eggs to see if there is any difference. We used our rejuvenated celery stalk to compare to the eggs and learned a little more about osmosis.

We are starting the unit on Physical Science. Students should have read and be familiar with E1-E15.

Students can fix their tests. The fixed information must be on a clean sheet of paper and stapled to the test. All answers must be in complete sentences, legible and have correct spelling. Students can get half credit for every correct answer.
