I apologize that the blog has been silent for the last few weeks.My plans to record and post videos for the new unit – Energy, Machines, and Motion – have not worked out as well as hoped.
I have put together a compilation of links and stuff below to help with managing any missing work from the Progress Reports. Sorry this is going up on Sunday, but the Orca News took priority!
If you need any of the handouts, I have posted links to them below.
Unfortunately, with videos unavailable, your only option is to arrange to come in at lunch to do the investigations. Depending on the investigation, we may be able to arrange ahead of time for me to have it set up and ready to go, and you will only have to do a part of the investigation to understand the concept. I can then share with you data from another group so that you can complete the worksheets.
Gas Exchange Worksheet
This is actually from the last unit, related to the heart and lungs.
I have added directions to the top of the worksheet so you can access the simulation at home.
There are questions on the back you need to complete on a piece of paper and turn in for credit!
Investigation 5.1: Elastic Force of a Rubber Band
Investigation 6.1 and 6.2: Friction
Answer Questions 9A-D from page 51 on the back side of the worksheet before turning it in.
Investigation 11.1 and 11.2: The Inclined Plane
Answer Questions A-D from page 105 on the back side of the worksheet before turning it in.
Investigation 12.1: The Pulley
There wasn't originally a handout for this investigation in the interests of saving paper. I have linked the data table that everyone wrote in their notebooks.
Answer Questions 1A-E from page 115 on the back side of the worksheet before turning it in.
Investigation 13.1 and 13.2: The Lever
Follow the directions on the back of the worksheet to answer questions from the text.
We have had two quizzes so far this quarter:
Quiz 1 was our last quiz related to Human Body Systems, which covered the heart and the lungs.
Quiz 2 was related to MSP prep and the beginning of Energy, Machines, and Motion. It mostly had to do with graphing data from an investigation and using that evidence to make several predictions.
If you took Quiz 2 and did not score 3s on it, you may make corrections on it based on my feedback and turn it in for full credit no matter what you scored on it. I know that our rule is usually restricted to scores of 2.5, but unless I noted otherwise in the feedback, fixing your quiz will be sufficient!
