'For someone visiting earth for the first time, the real treasures here would all be free. The smell of a sunlit prairie, the taste of a cold cup of spring water, the crunch of trackless snow underfoot, these are some of the earth's supreme treasures. On intergalactic maps, if there are such things, the place where we live must surely be designated as a magical garden in space, a place of astounding beauty.' 
~ Steve Van Matre


Recap: 


  Students were given 5 minutes to scan the lab safety test and answer. Scores were not too bad, but fell well short of the 100% every student must have before we can enter the lab. We went over a few of the questions to see what they were struggling with. I took the time to clarify that while the test specifies you use soap and water to clean a chemical spill on your skin, technically we would use a buffer solution depending on if it's an acid or a base. This lead to an impromptu review of the pH scaleStudents should review the lab safety rap video again. 

I learned how to use One Note yesterday and they will have the syllabus and other class documents in their notebook as soon as I can get it set up.


 Students made their initial observations in the Fortune Telling Fish lab. We will finish this today. 

Homework is ongoing. Students  need to finish reading the website and taking notes for our discussions through the end of the week.  Probabilistic Fallacies and Bayes Rule.  If you are having difficulty with understanding, Watch this video:
