Go over the test. Discuss the difficult questions.

Test Remediation day.  Answer the questions that correlate with the topics that you have missed.  The remediation will be due tomorrow along with the vocabulary.

Fill out the test reflection.  For each question missed, identify what the concept was that you missed and why you missed the question.

Binders will be checked today, be sure to have them out while you are working on the remediation.

HW:  Finish the test remediation, test reflection, and also read Chapter 10 and answer the questions on page 295. 

        Tomorrow we will begin our discussion on waves:
                -Mechanical waves
                -Electromagnetic waves
                -Transverse waves
                -Longitudinal waves
                -What factors affect the speed of a wave
                -Example of each type of wave
                -General wave characteristics




Physical Science B

Go over the test and difficult questions.

Test Reflection: each table will have a copy of the test.  Look at what you got wrong, reflect on why you missed the question, and what you can do to fix the problem.  These are due by friday

Retakes need to be done by the end of the week.

Bellwork:
    1. As a group, your table mate and yourself, define and explain abiotic, biotic, competition, predation,     symbiosis, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, and disease.

Discuss abiotic vs. biotic
-group activity abiotic vs. biotic, as a group work on the activity.  You will have about 10-15 minutes to work on this as a group.

Back as a class, discuss activity.

Discuss Community interaction. 
-Activity/HW: you will make a flip book: on the front side you will need to have as a minimum the terms competition, predation, symbiosis, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism, and disease.  On the inside you will need to write an explanation or use a picture the explains the concept.

HW: I will check you flip book tomorrow as well as the abiotic and biotic activity.
