SCIENCE

Posted Week of February 8 on Mrs. Malinowski’s schoolrack website for 8th grade Science

Announcements

 The draft abstract for your science fair project is due on our next school day. ??????

  (Even if it is incomplete, please plan on turning it in.)

The final abstract is due February 16.  This is worth a quiz grade

(see the files section for the directions for the abstract and a sample abstract)   

The project, including backboard and notebook(binder) is due February 22.

Homework for the week

1.  Continue developing your portfolio with materials suitable to use as reference material to take an open-portfolio test on Motion and Newton's laws.  We will take this test on the next school day.

2. Finish your Science Fair Project.

e-mail sent to group members on Sunday, 2/7

Hello everyone,

  Happy snow days and Superbowl Sunday.

  In order to keep us on track, I have posted notes about the topics we have been talking about in Science class.  As I already mentioned to the students, the next test is on two chapters, Motion and Newton's Laws.  It will be an open portfolio test.  I have explained the rules of what can be in the portfolio. 

   I thought it would be helpful if the students could copy the teacher notes.  I have put them in the files section of my website and on the discussion board at the website. The discussion board doesn't allow the formatting from the document, so it is not as easy to read as the downloaded documents.

  The student must copy the document in their own handwriting to use the notes for the open portfolio test.  This is to help them learn the topic.
