October 3-7

NOTICE: I had hoped that we would spend 3-4 days this week working on the UV bead projects (outside), however it looks like the weather is going to be cold and rainy, especially Mon-Wed. As a result, I've revised my plans. Students will still plan their bead projects on Monday, but we will hold off on the experiments until the weather improves. -Benson

Monday
Classes are a bit shorter today due to early release (every Monday). We will watch this 4-minte YouTube Video, Benson will review the UV bead project, and then students will be given the period to plan their projects (does not involve going outside). Honors students: Only one MESPOW for this week (#18).

Tuesday
Students will take notes during a presentation on climate change (aka "global warming"). Periods 1-4-5 should read pages 602-603. Periods 6-7 should read 594-601. Also, check out this climate change graphic.

Wednesday
Students will do a graph activity related to climate change.

Thursday
Students will work quietly on a WS at their assigned seats. Benson will be gone (working at the cross country meet) in the afternoon (periods 5, 6, 7).

Friday
Hopefully the weather will be good enough for students to start the experiment portion of their projects.
