What We Did Today

We started our study of chemical changes.

Homework

None unless you didn't take the test on "States of Matter". The test will focus on our five labs - Conduction, Evaporation, Condensation, Melting, Freezing. Each of these labs and answers can be found in the Science Files. Review each activity and pull out the main idea for each. Double check your answers with the ones provided in Science Files. In addition to the labs, you can find a ten page reading (Chapter 2) that summarizes the labs and the concepts covered if you have any questions. The test will be a combination of drawings that you need to complete, drawings you would need to describe what is happening or label. There will also be a few multiple choice and fill in the blank question in addition to 5 short answer questions that are each related to the labs. Focus on application and examples of each of the concepts. You may bring a small index card with notes on it to help on the test. It should be hand written and you can use both sides.

La Framboise - Individuals & Societies - 02/22/2017

What We Did Today
We continued talking about urbanization; we analyzed urban and rural populations in various regions of the world, as well as selected countries.

Homework
None, unless you haven't completed your interview.  Here was the assignment:

Ask an immigrant the following questions:1. Where did you immigrate from?2. In what year did you immigrate?3. Why did you immigrate?4. What have been some challenges of immigrating to the United States?5. What else would you like to share about your immigration experiences?
Bring your answers back on Wednesday, Feb. 22.  Don't wait until Tuesday night to try to get this done.  Ask your parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc., if they know someone who has immigrated to the US, and see if you can arrange an interview.  It can be a phone interview, email, text, FaceTime, Skype, etc., though ideally, a face-to-face interview would be most beneficial.
