Hints for the talking worksheet:
1. You can use the internet to search for tools that you might not know that much about. For example, you could google “measuring or graduated cylinder common units” and I found the following website:
http://vygotsky.ced.appstate.edu/barrier/cylinder.htm
It tells all about measuring/graduated cylinders.
2. If you didn’t get a chance in class to photo or video the tool, you don’t have to have it in the video with you. You can print a picture from the internet and hold it up, but its your choice. (Class 3AC, you will be doing the video later for HW.)
3. Remember to video in Photobooth and then go back to Pages to drag the video into the Page. Resize it by grabbing a corner and make your box big enough for it.

Mikas and Garrett trying to classify things in our science lab as mixture or solution.
Try to identify elements, compounds, mixtures and solutions this weekend at home. You’ll be amazed at how many you’ll find. Use the graphic organizer and the post below if you are having trouble telling them apart from one another.

Here is a nice graphic to help you better understand how atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds are all related…

Wow! We had some great scientists today. Good observations and descriptions! Let’s see if you can figure out what Chemical A is.
Hopefully after today you understand more terms and can differentiate between a physical and a chemical property. Here is the lab for your use:

I’d like to warmly welcome you to the 2010-11 school year and to my science class. I am eager to begin our time together and have been working hard to prepare the classroom and activities that we’ll explore.
I’m sure that you have lots of questions, and I hope that they will be answered in the next few days. In the meantime, you can find a ton of information on my blog and the MS blog. The blogs are used both as windows to the classroom and as a teaching/learning tool.
1) My syllabus (or class outline) can be found on one the above tabs. This will have information on my requirements, materials needed, curriculum topics, etc.
2) Our seventh grade team blog is linked on the left of this page. This has information that all 7th graders and their parents might need, like a schedule template, grading policies, behavior expectations, etc.
3) The MS blog is also linked on the left of this page. This has information that all MS students and their parents might need, like important school dates, links to many other blogs, announcements, etc.
4) Students will look on the whiteboards as they enter the school for the name of their Homebase Teacher. They should then go to that room, where they will be informed of the schedule for the rest of the day. Our first day together is mostly about orientation and getting to know each other. Wednesday will be our first day of normal scheduling and students will see their core and specialist teachers.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at all. I look forward to meeting you all very soon!

What a year! Looking back on this past school year I have many great memories of science class and all the other great accomplishments….challenge based learning projects, bonding day, china alive, MYG nights, lock-ins, Pompeii Day, Black Plague Day, pig hearts, heart rate experiments, dissecting frogs, and on and on.
I look foward to a fun and event-packed 2010-11! ”Good luck” to those of you who are on to new adventures and “see you next year” to those who are returning for more SAS madness!
Have a great summer!

Since the Shanghai Government is mandating 2 additional holidays for the May Holiday, our school board has decided that instead of Saturday school or adding days to the calendar, that we will have virtual school on F, April 30 and T, May 4. Students should expect 30 minutes of work from each class on each of these days. They may need their laptops.
For science: You should study for your Unit Test (Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory systems) as your first priority. Then you can be working on either the Circulatory Dude or the Project that was introduced in class on Apr. 28/29.
