Stay in place day 2 Social distancing day 10? Who knows. No matter how long you have been social distancing or staying inside or not working I hope you are doing well. I’m sure you guys enjoyed no new work yesterday!
Forensics Students- Good news the sun is out and the new work for today involves you heading outside. It looks like there are three assignments but there really is only one, the first link is just to download the directions and background information, print this if possible, if not you will want to keep it handy when completing the post lab questions. The next two links are just a place to upload your data, and then post lab questions. The directions sheet will talk you through going outside and measuring the wheel base, track width, and tire width of a car. Please use either your own car or a relative’s vehicle. Use caution, it would be best to be working in a driveway or garage if possible. You will need a tape measure or some sort of measuring device. If you do not have a tape measure but do have a ruler or yard stick you could use string to make the measurements and then hold it up to the ruler. You may need to enlist the help of a family member. If you are struggling with how to make the measurements with the materials you have please let me know and we will work together. Remember my office hours are 10-1. Once you have completed your data table, either by printing it out and filling it in, or by creating your own, take a picture of it and upload it under tire track lab part A, then complete the post lab questions under part B. We will not be posting a new assignment tomorrow, But Friday at 9 am we will post your last one for this week. Please make sure your tire track notes/CWP, this lab, and Friday’s assignment (Forensic Files) are all completed by Friday at 11:59 pm.
Chemistry Students- You should still be working on your project, you need to upload your graphic organizer/planning page today by 11:59 pm. I also posted a forum today, it has a short video about how soap breaks apart the COVID-19 virus. Please watch the video and respond to the forum by Friday at 11:59 pm. I am then asking you to reply to classmate’s posts by Sunday at 11:59 pm. In addition to the forum and project planning you should continue your work on the household chemical inventory. Since its so nice out today maybe you could look for somethings out in the shed or garage. Let me know if you have any questions!
I hope that all of you are staying safe and healthy. Please continue to follow the Governor’s orders of staying home unless you are an essential employee, gathering essential materials, or are outside getting some sun on this gorgeous day! Thank you all of you who have been responding to my daily questions and check ins.
