Oct. 5

Science: Today we practiced calculating acceleration based on the car traveling on a level section of the track compared to a sloped section of the track. Students qot their quizzes back, quiz corrections are due tomorrow for 1/2 credit. Rules for quiz corrections are:
1. Separate sheet of paper
2. Copy the entire question
3. Write the correct answer completely (not just "a")
4. Write at least 2 sentences explaining the question and answer. Statements such as "I didn't know" or "I got confused" do not explain the science. If it is a solving question students may make a problem sovling box instead of writing sentences.
