Physical Science A
Today we will go over the test.
Discuss the test results. If you have a question, now is the time to ask!
You will each get a test remediation. The remediation is designed to have you answer questions only based on the questions that you miss on the test. You will receive a report showing what questions you missed. Use this to determine what questions on the remediation you must answer. Also, three hole punch this sheet and keep it in your binder!
The remediation should be finished by the end of the day.
The Vocabulary will be check tomorrow.
I will walk around and check your binders today.
If you finish early, get started reading Chapter 2, sections 2 and 3, along with all of chapter 3. Take notes on the material.

Physical Science A
Bellwork:
1. Let's see who looked over the syllabus. What percentage of your grade does the final exam count for? Assessments? Homework?
2. How many points will a late assignment receive after the test?
-Discuss how science is performed, ways that discoveries are made, and the process used by scientists to make these discoveries.
-Discuss Scientific Method and Experimental Design
-Explain and begin the coin lab activity
The experiment will be collected tomorrow.
The Simpson's activity will be done for homework tonight
.
Scientific Method Rap.....I know, I know, but you should watch and laugh!

Physical Science B
Bellwork:
1. If an atom has an atomic number of 14 and a mass number of 45. What is the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons found within that particular atom?
2. Why is it that only an electron can move not a proton?
Objectives:
1. Understand what is being transferred during an electrostatic discharge.
2. Be able to explain how charges interact with each other.
Check and go over the homework.
Begin discussing electrostatics.
Van de Graff
HW: Review Atoms, atomic structure, atomic numbers, and mass number. Quiz Tomorrow. Be sure to study this will be your first assessment grade in the books. Begin working on your vocabulary for the electrostatics unit.
