RECAP:
In all classes and sections we finished up the DBMA test and I have student results to hand back and go over today. All students were given their make up work last week and given till Friday to get it caught up, including IXL. That deadline has now passed, and that offer is done. Parents were notified by e-mail or phone call with the exception of long distance numbers which I will call today. Many of you took advantage of the offer and have seen a significant jump in your grade. FANTASTIC job!
SKILLS BOOST:
Raul is conducting an experiment that measures the effect of light exposure on the amount of water absorbed by plants. His hypothesis states, Ïf a plant is exposed to more light, then it will absorb more milliliters of water." There are three groups of plants to test: plants exposed to 1, 6, and 12 hours of light. Raul's teacher will provide him with plant seedlings, soil, pots, water and growth lamps. Raul must let the teacher know the quantity of materials he needs.
How many pots and seedlings should Raul request from his teacher in order to conduct this experiment? Justify your answer based on what you know about repeated trials and experimental design. What are some possible ways errors might be introduced to the experiment?
BRAIN BENDER:
Dee Septor, the famous magician claims he can tell the score of any football game before it even starts. Many think he is psychic and possesses supernatural powers. How is it that he can be accurate about the score 99% of the time?
AGENDA:
My testing group will meet in 4-206- Be patient, this will take time and we will listen to the All call system to stay on track throughout the day

If we finish with the DBMA data, we will begin to gather data for our egg drop.
1. Determine the mass of your eggstranaut
2. Determine the mass of your egg lander
3. Have one partner at the bottom of the stairs to retrieve your lander. This person is timing your drop
4. Have one partner ready to drop your egg lander.
5. Egg lander MUST start at the top of the railing with your lander body even with the top post.
6. Draw your picture! (step 1)
7. Determine what data you need to calculate impact speed.
8. What is the speed of your lander 2 seconds into it's descent?

Earth’s Structure and Changes Over Time
Unit Essential Question: How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
Key Learning Statement: The shape of the land changes over time through two major processes, both natural and manmade. Natural changes occur through weathering, erosion, and deposition which are agents of the rock cycle. Manmade changes occur through deforestation, urbanization, desertification, air, land, water quality, and change in flow and pollution of water.
