REFLECTION TIME

 * 1) Choose one of the assignments
 * 2) Choose the competency (Communication, Problem Solving, Teamwork, Use of Numbers and Data) which it demonstrates.
 * 3) On a separate piece of paper do the reflection. Remember you are trying to connect this assignment with the competency. Focus on that first. How does it show it?
 * 4) Then you can focus on:
 * What you did well? (Strengths)
 * What you have improved on from previous assignments and work? I'm doing this much better .... (Areas of Improvement)
 * What are some areas of concern? Things to work on next time to make it better? (Concerns)
 * How can you be more successful? How are you going to improve next time? (Actions Needed)

HUMAN ENERGY FLOW ASSIGNMENTS

CHEMISTRY UNIT TEST: November 11 (This is what to study ... notes, classwork, homework, and practice sheets)
NOTES Balancing Chemical Reactions - no hand out (use practice worksheets and homework to practice)

Blowing up a Balloon: CHEMICALLY lab Due Nov. 1st Conclusion 1) Restate the purpose of the lab 2) Tell what you did and what you found by doing the lab. Include the data and what it states. 3) Restate your hypothesis and tell whether it is confirmed or rejected your data. Remember the data should support or reject your hypothesis ... it's hwy we do experiments. 4) Discuss any problems that occurred during the lab, any errors in the data, or anything that might affect the results. (example: broken thermometer, forgot to start the stopwatch, repeating the experiment, different amounts of reactants, volumes) 5) Discuss how you can improve the experiment to make it more accurate or valid next time.

NOTES Chemical Reactions and Bonding Chemical Reaction Lab Report due Tuesday Oct. 27 Data and Analysis Make sure your data table is clearly labeled. Make a quick data analysis under the data discussing what it shows. You don't have to infer anything about the data. You should just state what it shows. (example: The temperature went up)

Test on Wednesday Sept. 9th Study atom notes, the two worksheets that you were on in last class, and the atomic theory (atomic model) scientists.

Science Notebook Help! If you were unhappy with you science notebook grade (or you got a C or below), I will be holding a morning session to help organize your notebook and put together the table of contents. I will do everything to help you get an A during the next notebook check. Sept 16th and 17th 7:00 - 8:00 am. You have to get here on your own and I will walk you through putting the notebook together.

__Scientific Notebook Check (10% of your grade)__ Important documents in front "Do Now" tab Chemistry tab
 * syllabus, rubrics, lab safety, and lab report guideline handouts
 * all the Do Now's we have done for warm-ups in class
 * Table of contents (date, title, page # location)
 * All the assignments including homework, classwork, labs, quizzes, notes (all with dates, name, block, and a page number)
