Graphing Calculator.

This is a very cool graphing calculator. It allows you to either plot points (an option of 1 or 2 sets) or plot graphs (up to 4 at a time)

Unfortunately points and lines can not be on the screen at the same time and there is not way to generate the equation through the points  that are plotted. This a good basic plotting option for younger students or a quick graph of a short lab experiment for older students.

Chemistry completed a open note vocab quiz and had the chance to retake the math and measurement quiz. Now we begin our study of matter.

Chemistry and Physical Science – Quiz today. Tomorrow we will continue checking out scribblemaps in Chemistry and review the quiz in PhySci.

Physics – Today we explored Capzles.com, pbwork.com and livebinders as options for student use for eNotebooks. Tomorrow we will begin setup.

Physical Science 9/11: Students were able to ask clarification or check answers on the review work for Chapter 1.

Chemistry 9/11 In chemistry we answered questions from the Unit 1 Review worksheet. Students are preparing this weekend for our first quiz.

Physics Testrun: On Friday 9/11 we took a measurement and math quiz and some students had time to check their epals account.

This year we, as teachers, students and Facilitatiors. have struggled with technical issues.. Thankfully it is coming close to settling down. I’m glad for all of us… I the time we have had we have been working to review skills that we learned or expected as they entered the classroom. We have also been working to get acquainted with some of the tools that we will be using throughout the year. Many have experienced the system that will be used for automotically graded quizes (quia.com) Everyone has experienced our ’social network’ for schools called edmodo.com as well as sametime and voicethread. Especially those who do not often have the chance to use computers, I am very proud of the adjustment students have made to the technology they have made.

Chemistry: review stoichiometry module 1-5 notes and prepare to begin quizes on Monday.
