Grade Reports
This week I’ve been giving grade reports to all my classes (3rd period will get theirs tomorrow) and I’ve got to admit they are looking much better. Grades are broken down into 3 categories:
- Assignments which includes homework and classroom performance.
- Labs which includes experiments and other research activities.
- Tests which includes daily quizzes and major tests.
These reports are to be signed by a parent and returned. A signed grade report is worth 10 extra credit points.
This Thursday’s test can have a big impact on your overall grade so I hope you’ve been studying.
Congratulations on the good grades and keep it up.
Write a Sky Diving Story
I hope everyone had a good time dropping their skydivers from the balcony. I’ve got a few pictures and I’ll try to add them to the site tomorrow.
Now it’s time to add some science to the fun. You’ll write and illustrate a story about sky diving. In your story you need to discuss the forces affecting the sky diver. Be sure to include the terms from your background research, vectors, formulas and Newton’s 3 Laws.
Have fun.
