Thursday after school in Science Discovery Club: Come see Mr. Freeman take the plunge while we seek to answer the question: What is a human's density? Bring your swimsuit if you want to participate!

Monday, 8/30

Today we started our lab on density. Many of you still need to acquire graph paper composition books... I will have some more here for sale tomorrow.
If you want an outline of the density notes from Friday and some recommended sample problems, find it here.
Homework for Freshmen: p.21#5 AND p. 879#1,5,8,9
Homework for Seniors: Finish BB lab graphing and graph matching.

Friday, 8/27

Band students: Since you missed notes and practice on Density on Friday, I was hoping to get notes up online for you. It didn't happen on Friday so I will have a print-out for you at the beginning of class Monday.
No weekend homework except to study and continue practicing density calculations as we did in notes today. Monday you will need to bring your composition notebook (lab notebook) as we will have our first lab exercise.

Freshmen Homework: Finish correcting "Mouse Munchies" graphing worksheet considering the problems I mentioned in class. Click on images below to enlarge and print if you lost yours.

Monday and Tuesday, 8/24-8/25

I'm home sick with the stomach flu. On Monday, classes worked on the "Mouse Munchies" worksheet (won't be online until I'm back at school) and homework was p.32-33 #1-14. On Tuesday, a relaxing day will hopefully be had; a video to watch in class and no homework. I should be back at school on Wednesday.

Reminder: FHS OPEN HOUSE 7:00-9:00PM This Thursday
Parents: Experience the thrill of shortened classes and 5-minute passing periods as your children do as you get to meet teachers, see classrooms, and ask questions. Start out in a student's first period and go through ~10 minute periods with each teacher.

Students should be bringing home paperwork for this event between Monday and Wednesday, and they should have copied down their class schedule for you on the same paper.

SI units are not the most commonly used on most items in this country, so they will likely be the second measurement listed and also inside parentheses.
