Geometry- Friday, September 11, 2015

Classwork: Discussed last night's reading assignment and students discussed their own interpretations of various geometry terms such as point, line, segment, plane, midpoint, bisect and ray. We also started practicing using the compass and explored using patty paper for constructing a midpoint.

Homework: No homework :)

Discussion Starters: Can a line be bisected? Is there a midpoint for a line? What about for rays?

Science- Friday, September 11, 2015

Classwork: Students were given an opportunity to set up binders or other organizational system to use for the year. We suggest having a binder with dividers  and the following sections: daily science, notes, homework, assessments, labs. We then began our first investigation utilizing the timers and photo-gates so that students could become familiar with these tools.

Homework: No homework, unless syllabus has not been returned with signature.

Discussion Starters: Ask your student about their reaction time using the stopwatch and how the photo-gates seem to work.
