IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITY

Physical Science Improvement opportunity.

There will be an opportunity to IMPROVE your Term Test score on Wednesday December 15, 2010 (or Thursday 12/16/10 in the event of of schedule changes interruptions)


This test will be shorter, with significantly fewer questions, so each question will have increased value. The improvement opportunity will cover the same material and time frame as the original term test.


The improvement assessment will be heavily based on VOCABULARY.



NO FIELD NOTEBOOKS to be used on this improvement test. You may retrieve your past work from your in-class file to help you prepare. YOU MUST RETURN YOUR PAST WORK TO THE FILE WHEN DONE.



You may demonstrate your test preparation, notes etc on one (1) 8.5 in. by 11 in sheet of notebook paper and you may use that on the test.

GOOD LUCK !

  8. I suggest you review the home text Chapters 9, 10 (to page 357) extensively. I can also suggest you review terms related to "doing experiments" and the scientific process.

  13. Thank you Charles, I trust you and your family have a wonderful Winter Break too.

    We will assess them when we return from break, probably on the 5th(Wed.) Progress Logs are not due until the 6th, that gives everyone time to get back in the swing of things and I think we have assemblies on Tuesday.


    Enjoy your time to relax, recreate, replenish, restore, and find a little time to read something that interests you too ( have to add that last part .. I am a teacher ya know).

  14. hey Mr. V,
    I have a question about electrons and how atoms make up things like a table. First are things like an 32" by 64" table made up of many atoms? I am a little confused how if atoms make up the table what make up the boundrys of the electrons flyign aruond. That and if the atoms are all over the place plus the electrons are flying all over the place with no pattern what happens when they collide or what keeps them from colliding.
    Thanks for the help

  15. BILLIONS of atoms. Remember the "spinning bicycle wheel spokes"" The electrons move so fast it is almost like a "solid" shell around the nucleus. In things that are solid , like a table, remember the atoms are tightly organized. So essentially you have tightly organized "solid" electron shells packed together.

    That help?
