The game is about battleships and covers WW I and WW II. We will be learning with the hypothetical scenario called War Plane Orange.

For the last few days our Internet connection here at school has been "iffy".
Yesterday was graphing
Today:

Agenda May 7

1 STAR Test - Science today. The STAR Test Review Worksheet Packet is now past due. Get it in
2 Journal 81 Continue working on Procedures for Straw Rocket - Prove That ... Project. I have noticed many of you have not been working in class. I called this a chance to act like a grown up. To be frank, many of you would be unemployed if this is your work ethic. Please realize that this activity is valuable and an exercise in self motivation.

So, if you do not have written procedures on the day of the experiment (Monday or Tuesday depending on the block schedule) you will not be allowed to perform the experiment. You will have to make it up on Tuesday during after school tutorial. If not then, then not at all. You have had three days and at least 2 class periods to work on this. It is very much up to you.

Miniatures Club - Thanks to Mr. Realini for the treats. It was great to have Mr G. visit today. Maybe we can get him into a game.

Agenda May 6

1 Finish and Grade Review Worksheet packet. This assignment is now in the computer and because some students have not done it yet, their grades have fallen up to two grades. This was an easy assignment and should be completed. I only have a few (very few) extra sheets.
2 Writing rough draft for Prove That... Project

Our new American Dive Bombers are through customs and in transit. They may even be ready for tomorrow's game.

Agenda May 5

1 Finish Review Worksheet Packet
2 Journal 81 Rough Draft for Prove That... Project

Still 50/50 for Friday. If I know that Steven Bi will be here that would improve the odds as my throat is quite sore. It would also help if Mr. G attended.

Agenda May 4

1 Finish and Grade Review Worksheet Packet
2 Journal 81 Prove That... Project A choice of three experiments awaits you. The trouble is, you must design, carry out, and communicate (lab report)your experiment.
The actual experiment will be carried out in the beginning of next week.

Miniatures Club Has a 50/50 chance of being canceled this week. I am day to day with this cold and sore throat. What a way to spend Teacher Appreciation Week.

A great thing happened to me on Monday Mr. Realini went to a fantasy baseball camp over the weekend. He plays on a team that represents the SF Giants. One game was against the team representing the Oakland A's. Playing right field was Bill Nye (yes Bill Nye the Science Guy). Mr. Realini got Bill Nye to sign a baseball for me. It says "Hey Chris, Baseball is Science Bill Nye the Science Guy". I bet I am the only person with a baseball signed by Bill Nye. I am buying a display case for the ball.
