Today's Quote:

RECAP:

Here is a video of the two heavy boosters touching down.

Unit exams in both Bio and Earth Space today. Yesterday we saw the launch from the school, but here is an animation of the actual mission:

Students who correct ALL the mistakes on their returned papers will receive 10 points more. Make your corrections on a separate piece of paper and staple it to the actual paper, turn it in. Example: If you scored a 60 on an assignment and you correct ALL of the mistakes, I will add 10 points to make it a 70.

Entry Task/ Brain Bender:

A local jewelry store was robbed and the sack containing the stolen jewels was found several miles from town thrown in some bushes. Shadow had two suspects, Sid Shady, and Sam Slug, but made no attempt to investigate or interrogate either of them. Two days later, Shadow summoned both Slug and Shady to his office and promptly arrested the guilty party. Without any investigative work, or camera evidence, how could Shadow be certain of arresting the right man?
