Rockin' Websites

Here are some helpful rock websites.

1.) http://www.fi.edu/fellows/fellow1/oct98/create/ is a very nice and simple explanation of the different ways rocks are made with simple animations.

2.) http://www.rocksforkids.com/RFK/Rocks&Minerals.html Is an AMAZING site that allows you to click on pretty much every type of rock EVER and see what it looks like...this will come in very handy later!

3.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rocks although I generally avoid wikipedia this is such a good catalog of rock pictures!

4.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minerals here is a very comprehensive list of all the types of minerals out there.

5.) http://www.rocksforkids.com/RFK/howrocks.html can basically teach you everything you need to know about rocks and the rock cycle. A simple and clear overview.

6.) http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinofossils/index.html this is a very comprehensive interactive site for fossils.

Student Activities for Monday

I'm so sorry I'm stuck in Bethel again you guys! I'm trying really hard to get home and I miss all of you little goobers!

Can you do me one last favor and work really hard today? YOU ARE THE BEST KIDS EVER!


FOR JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE CLASSES

click HERE for access to todays online activity

scroll down to NEWTONS LAWS.
Click on each section: The Car and the Wall, The Motor Cyclist and The Truck and Ladder

In you NOTEBOOKS:
1.) Read each section carefully and watch the animations
2.) Take notes on what you think is important to know from each section (be brief)
3.) Using the various pages try to Define Newton's First Law as best you can
4.) Explain in your own words what this "Law" is and what it means in your life
5.) Think of 3 real world examples of Newtons first law


FOR MATH CLASSES:

Make sure your calendars are filled out so I can see what you did while I was gone.

If you finished all of your math packets make sure that you graded them and figured out why you got the problems wrong that you did.
Also make sure you took notes on the directions on the top. Go back and review what you did all last week.

If you feel ready, Look at your Phase Sheets and take the indicator tests that go along with your assignments. You may need to get the packet from the drawer and ask Mr. Stillwell or Mr. Barnett to make you copies. It is up to you to be responsible and figure this out...this is a test to see if you can take care of yourselves.

HEALTH AND PE

I can't wait to see how your new teen issues are coming along. YOU BETTER BE WORKING HARD IN PE or ELSE Sargent Iverson will punish you little soldiers.

A WEEK WITHOUT IVERSON

SCIENCE CLASS:
