Week of Dec 16 to Dec 20, 2013 (last week before vacation)

Last week before break.   Lots of snow on the ground and real cold.  Certainly feels like winter now.

Don't expect any change in plans, but.... all plans and due dates are subject to change (in extreme situations).

Chem-I (periods 2,3,6):     Project videos are DUE  MONDAY.  I need a copy of your video either on DVD, flash drive or I will need to see the completed video.  Any video that is not turned in to me by the time I leave GHS (4:30 PM) will be late and points will be deducted accordingly.    We will be doing a practice round of "peer scoring" using a past video.  Remember that your project's final grade is 50 % teacher evaluation, 25 % peer evaluations,  25 %  group "self-evalution".  Individual adjustments will be made as necessary based on individual effort as part of your group.      Presentations will begin on Tuesday and continue through block day.   It is my hope that your project will be scored by Friday.

Chem-IA (per 7):   SAME as above.

Chem-II:  (per 1):   Science career paper due MONDAY.   Group presentations on 15-2, 15-3 and 16-1 will be done on Monday.   Career project presentations will begin on Tuesday and continue to end of the week.

Let's have a great week and a fantastic vacation.
