Hello!
I just wanted to update on a few things.
7th grade: We finished taking notes on the phases of the Moon today and we began a small projects. Most of the students were unable to finish so they are to finish at home.

7th Homework: Please finish making your moon phase books. Please label each picture of each phase and write a brief description to help you with later study.

8th grade: We are continuing to discuss velocity, vectors, scalar, displacement, average speed and average velocity. We will be working on how to calculate average speed and velocity as well as how to determine displacement. We will begin graphing as soon as I feel that my students have a good grasp on velocity, etc.

8th Homework: There is no homework for today. However, I suggest that parents go through the notes with their child and have them explain what the concepts are. If they are able to explain than they have understood the concepts if not they may need some extra help.

Gak Lab: Due to copyright concerns I did not want to post the Gak Lab recipe on my blog. However there is a great website that shows how to make an alternate Gak that might be fun for all of you to try. The website is www.stevespanglerscience.com. Look for the "Glacier Gak" recipe and let me know how it goes.

Duerr's Homeroom Update:
I just wanted to say Congratulations to my homeroom for winning the Hero's night Poster contest! We will be discussing, as a class the type of party we would like as our prize. Good Job!
