Working with Section 3.8 for last class, today and tomorrow. Will also be working with this section tomorrow - going through the Understanding Concepts section together. Students should know how to create a line graph, bar graph and circle(pie) graph to display information.

Will cover new material next week and then review for final 2-3 classes. See me for extra help for finals if needed.

Last week students worked on an activity that required them to complete crossword puzzles dealing with the Physics concepts of sound, motion, and energy. Students will be required to know the terms covered on the crossword puzzles. Today we clarified their model popsicle stick bridge project they will be working on for the next three classes. Students are in groups of two and bridges will be tested on Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Marks for strenght, effort, style, and the report which will be due after the strenght testing class.
