Monday January 26, 2009

Today in SCIENCE we:

• Disappointed me with your lack of preparedness for Current Events. As you know 5% of your grade can mean the difference between success and failure. Failure is not an option.
• Did vocabulary #27. Is your duotang up to date? You should have no problem getting this done. This is another easy 5% of your grade.
• Handed in our Heavy Metals Projects. If you worked on it during the movie and put it on my desk at the end of class you're not fooling anybody, and it is late.
• Started watching the movie Erin Brockovich. Did you vocabulary words today help? They should have if you did them properly. What is this movie about? How is it related to chemistry?
• We are at the end of a unit, therefore you should be REVIEWING your SCIENCE EVERY NIGHT. What do you understand? What do you need work on? Check your notes and the questions you have already completed. A unit finial is imminent.
