Just a reminder about the final assignments (and due dates) for science classes. Please check Focus for copies of handouts/rubrics.
Friendly reminder that we are offering science tutoring after school. This is an opportunity to ask questions, get caught up on your OneNote, complete test corrections etc.
Note: Students have opportunity to complete test corrections and take a retest on any of our Benchmark review quizzes until May 7th. Students MUST come to tutoring for retest.
Next tutoring dates:
NEW STEM SUMMER CAMP 2019
Students and professors from UNF will collaborate across Colleges to innovate solutions for agricultural, water, and medical resources and develop students’ computational thinking skills. These students and professors will then serve as mentors and councilors for innovative Summer Camps for 3rd-12th grade students. These Making, Coding, and Hacking Authentic unique Summer STEM Camps provide opportunities for local 3rd -12th grade students to become involved in authentic research projects and hands-on STEM activities.
Summer Stem camps will be open to students submitting applications- all applications will be considered. For 2019 there will be no charge for these camps–All camp participation is sponsored by a generous donation from STEM2HUB .”

Friendly reminder to students that their final “Properties of Water” booklet is due in class WED. 5/29. This is a 100 point ASSESSMENT grade.
Monday and Tuesday in class students worked through a series of Water Station labs. Don’t forget to complete the Water Lab Analysis questions on a separate sheet of paper. Check FOCUS if you need another copy of the analysis questions.
Lab Analysis due Wednesday 5/22.
Thursday and Friday in class we started our first Bridge to HS Biology lesson. Students took notes on the Properties of Water — if you need to see the .ppt I have uploaded it to OneView (under “Class Documents”).
Students also got the “Properties of Water” worksheet. This is due the next time you are in class. Check Focus if you need another copy of the handout.
All students in Comp Sci classes had the opportunity in class today to do test corrections for the Earth, Life and Physical Science review quizzes. After completing test corrections they will be eligible to retest to replace their original score.
Students will be able to retest in class on Wednesday May 15th.
Greetings Phy Sci students! I have linked some more resources to help you review for the Physical Science EOC.
Phy Sci Anchor Charts (made by former students)
In class today I did my second OneNote check and grade update. If students were working efficiently they should almost be done with all of their review activities — in fact, I have several students who have completed all of them.
Next week I will be discussing a Bonus opportunity that students can begin to work on.
Don’t forget we have a quiz on Tuesday covering Newton’s Laws, Potential/ Kinetic Energy and Energy Transformations. (Yes, you will be given a formula sheet)
Today in class you will be completing the Gravitational Force Gizmo. You need to log in to http://www.explorelearning.com with the username/password we set up on Friday.
Exploration guides due at the end of class.
This Thursday we have our Earth & Space Science benchmark assessment, so I would suggest you focus on those benchmarks next in your OneNote reviews.
Remember to update the “Date Completed” column on your data tracking sheets when you completed your assignments.
