Hey All,
Wanted to detail where we should be:
For today, 11/25, you should have completed the MythBusters scientific method outlines for the eye patch, rum as a cleaner, and cannonball through the ship myths.
Also for today, 11/25, you should have completed the Rocks reading and all of those questions (see previous blog entry).
For Monday, 12/1, please read the "Nuclear Chemistry" packet, highlight it, and be ready for further discussion.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

Rock Reminder
Hey All,
If you did not complete the rock reading and questions (see below on this blog), please complete it for Monday. Have great weekend!

Directions for MythBusting
PIRATE MYTHBUSTERS DIRECTIONS!!!!
For each myth being tested, please set up a new page IN YOUR SCIENCE NOTEBOOK to detail the steps of the scientific method:
* The Question (the myth):
* Hypothesis:
* Experiment Methodology (how did they do it?):
* Explanation of what happened in the Experiment (what happened when they did it?):
* The Data (the information gathered):
* The Conclusion (Was the myth busted or not? Was it a valid experiment? What future research, questions, or experiments stem from this experiment?):

ROCKS!
Hey All,
Thursday is Mythbusters Day, but Wednesday Rocks........
You have a handout about the rock cycle and types of rocks. Now pay attention. This assignment is about to look like one of Sheila's Math Assignment's......
Please answer the following questions by Monday, November 24th.
Page 909 - Fig 27-2 - How are rocks different from minerals?
Page 910 - Reading Check - What is the law of conservation of matter?
Fig 27-3 - What processes cause the uneven surfaces of these majestic mountains?
Page 911 - Section Assessment #1-4
Page 916 - Fig 27-6 - Did the lava that formed these rocks cool quickly or slowly? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.
Reading Check - What controls the grain size of an igneous rock?
Page 918 - Section Assessment #1-4 and Using Math
Page 919 - Fig 27-9 - What other conditions can cause metamorphic rocks to form?
Page 921 - Fig 27-11 - Explain why slate is used for patio and stepping stones and roofing shingles?
Page 922 - Section Assessment - #1-3
Page 923 - Fig 27-13 - How can these rock layers be used to sequence events in time, provided that the layers are not disturbed?
Page 927 - Reading Check - How do chemical sedimentary rocks form?
Page 928 - Problem Solving Think Critically (at the bottom)
Page 929 - Fig 27-17 - What types of organisms died and were buried to form this coal?
Using Math - ALL OF IT
Page 930 - Section Assessment - #1-3 AND Using Math

EMAIL SCIENCE GOALS AND QUIZ
Hi All,
Please email me your 3 science goals for the rest of the semester (through the end of January) by tomorrow (Friday, 11/14). These should be science content related - not behaviors. These should include what we have already been studying, as well as chemical composition and characteristics of minerals.
DON'T FORGET: Quiz on the chemical reactions sheet on Monday, 11/17.

Current Work
Hi All,
Great job preparing for your conferences last week. Wanted to remind you of where we stand as we move forward.....
Make sure that your Relevant Elements worksheet is completed (due yesterday).
For Wednesday, November 12th, read the reactions handout (both sides), and make marginal notes and/or highlight the important points. We will discuss this on Wednesday.
As we move forward, we will be looking more closely at chemical reactions. We will also be examining minerals, their chemistry, and their various characteristics.
