1. Dynamic Planet, Meteorology, Solar System: Continue working through event topics. I will primarily be providing testing opportunities from here on out. See me with individual ques.
2. Junkyard Challenge: Should have a working device by now. Need to have in to school sometime during the week of 2/8/10.
3. Road Scholar: Should be wrapping up lessons this week. See me for your 1st test before end of week.
4. Physical Science Lab: Continue working through event topics - will provide test this week over these items. Should also be making blades by now (all research about blade types and angles for efficiency should be wrapped up this week).
5. Write It Do It: Know rules, and go through binder in the WIDI bin that is in the room between Wandel and Malefyt (this will explain strategy).

Mr. Malefyt Event Updates (1/25/10)
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.

Trajectory: Continue to test
Wright Stuff: End of January Building Deadline is Fast Approaching!
Compute This: A new test will be available on Wednesday of this week.
Fossils: Continue to work on present assignment. A test will happen next Monday!
Ornithology: Your present assignment is due this Thursday! A quiz/test will occur on the same day. Be ready!
Shock Value: Hang tight this week. I will have labs ready to go next week Monday. Finish your second 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.

Meteorology Update
Part b of the competition:
1. Check Event Resources for links on the energy budget and insolation
2. Search wikipedia for info. on convection, radiation, advection.
3. Add to resource page as needed.
Done by Friday 1/8

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.

Physical Science Lab Update
1. Continue to study the topics for the written test, and to collect resources for the binder.
2. Begin to research designs for the blade assembly. If designing already, be sure to meet the width requirements for the blades in your design.
