Mr. Malefyt Event Updates (2/16/10)
Ornithology: You should have finished the test available online by today. Finish up your bird list this week and begin a good study of bird songs.
Compute This: Your tests have been graded. There is no homework this week. I do have some comments about your tests however...so see me!
Fossils: Continue to work on assignments. I will have a new one ready by the end of the week!
Wright Stuff: Make sure you have a flight log ready!!!!! I need to see a working flight log by this Friday.
Shock Value: I have a test that each of you must take by this Wednesday. Please see me for this test.
Trajectory: Final testing should be done this week so we can make graphs next week.

Mr. Wandel Event Updates
Ecology: I have a test for you.....But if you don't know the Taiga and Grassland Biomes inside and out it will be a waste of time.....
Bio Process Lab: Study up on food labels. You will need to be able to read a food label as well as make calculations given a food label. Search food label activities on google and you can find a million resources. Next week we will be focusing on experimental design and the scientific process so you can get started on that as well.
Towers: No more team building.....The product is too inconsistent. Each of you build your own tower. I expect at least one tower a week.....STOP SOCIALIZING. If you were in an engineering group in a furniture company and didn't get your mock ups out on time you would get FIRED.....Keep that in mind.....Science is always on a time clock.

Trajectory: You should be in the testing phase.
Wright Stuff: Last week for construction...begin flight testing. Create a flight log!
Compute This: Finish the practice test given to you last week. Next week we will have a individual practice test that simulates the real thing!
Shock Value: TODAY take the practice test. We will use this practice test to show us what we need to work on. There are supplies in my room to create your own circuits. See me for more information!
Ornithology: Some people still have to take the practice test from last week. Once everyone does I will hand back the graded ones. Everyone should be working on the current assignment. There will be another quiz on Feb. 1...Next MONDAY!!!!!
Fossils: Practice Test today. A handout will be available for the next assignment.

Disease Detectives Update
7th Graders. There is a page on the resource page with a link. Check it out and ask questions as needed. I am a little concerned I haven't heard much about this event. It is hard.

Meteorology Update!!
NOTE: Should be well-studied through part d by end of next week (with these nec. items on your cheat-sheet).
1. Part c = Water...need to know states and properties as related to weather. Should find good image of water cycle to either learn or put on cheat sheet. In addition, review the unique properties of water.
2. Part d = Clouds and precipitation...types, formation, and associated weather patterns. Should be finding info. that relates cloud types to the type of weather they are precursors to, or occur with. How clouds are formed. Types of precip., what clouds different levels of precip. goes with, and probably how the diff. types of precipitation form.

Shock Value Update
Assignment #2 is complete. See your teacher for a copy or Mr. Malefyt. There will be no practice test given until Feb. The reason is that so much of the material is overlapping...you need to learn a big chunk in order to totally understand the smaller stuff.
Ecology and Anatomy
Ecology is updated (again)!!!! Check out the resource page, print the study guide, and get after it!!!
Anatomy has a quiz on the resource page. Print your final page and show Coach Wandel.
