Monday Sept 18, 2006 PICTURE DAY

Don't forget Monday is picture day!
Even if you don't buy a picture package you need to get your picture taken for the yearbook, student ID card and for our records.

So remember to comb your hair and SMILE!

Sooner or Later - September 14's class

I knew it was going to happen sooner or later but I didn't think it would be this soon, and on my BIRTHDAY to boot!

Ok here goes my summary of yesterday's class: Density is the measure of mass per unit of volume. There is a nifty formula to help you calculate any of the three variables in the equation.

D = m/V where D = density m = Mass and V = volume. Remember your units of measure and to round answers to two significant digits after the decimal.

Check out this website with an explanation and some practice questions:

Ok now for the Homework portion:

1. The handout with 12 density questions is due TODAY Friday September 15th, 2006.
2. Pre- lab report (first 2 pages of the lab report) are due on Monday plus you must have your goggles for the lab.

I will nominate Chelsea Warkentin to blog Friday's class.

Have a very Happy Friday and I will see you Science geeks second period!

Cheers and happy blogging!

Lab Schedule

Hello my Wonderful Science Geeks!

Just thought I would post the dates of the next three labs coming your way:

Monday September 18, 2006 - Lab 1.3

Thursday September 21, 2006 - Lab 1.6

Monday September 25, 2006 - Lab 1.8

Please remember that you must have goggles and your pre-lab report completed before you enter the lab. Also, labs are always due one week after we have completed them.

If you need an extra copy of the "How to get 100% on your lab report" handout check the "missed a day?" box in the classroom.

Cheers and happy blogging
