ALL 8th Science students/parents should

Chemistry Part B Test
Results
Class average was
around 73% so no need for a curve.
Students did much better not having lots of "very high or very low"
scores - they were more normalized with many getting average - as
it should be.
It looks like most are studying properly now (others still need to
be!).
STUDENTS WHO MISSED THE TEST MUST MAKE IT UP WITHIN ONE WEEK
(ARRANGE WITH TEACHER ASAP)
REVIEW SESSION MONDAY,
09 NOV After-School
(must have completed form from Unit
0 - General Help and special Activity Bus will be
available at 3:20)
Re-TEST TUESDAY, 10
NOV After-School
TROUBLE OPENING A Word Document or PowerPoint
file ?
Try saving it to your hard-drive first,
then opening it.
PPT Shows (.pps) should work on any computer
(whether you have PowerPoint or not)
* also you
may need to "enable"
macros
For Word documents, if you don't have
Word, save it to your hard-drive and then use this free Adobe .pdf
converter:
http://www.doc2pdf.net/
For
a free Adobe .pdf Reader go

SCIENCE EQUIPMENT (get
ASAP):
FLASHCARDS (part of equipment list)
need about 500 3" x 5" Index Cards (will last the
whole year)
8th Grade Science is not "hard" - but you will work hard.
Do what you are asked,
when you are asked
and you shouldn't have any trouble passing the course.
If you want more than just passing, you will,
of course, have to work
harder.
We number the classes from 1 to about 90
(end of year). The Events calendar will show Entry Questions/Exit
Statments for each class, as well as Homework assigned and general
class activities. Any handouts or PowerPoints used in a class are
in the Documents for downloading (PPTs are unlocked after the last
class has seen them because they have answers in
them).
* document names start with the number of the class it was
used/handed out to make them easy to find
HW = HomeWork
HO = HandOut PPT =
PowerPoint
Students and Parents should use this site often
(especially when absent since students are still responsible
for the work).
This site is a great aid for success in
class.
** if you miss a video - or want to see one again, we
can only put them on the district's Public drive due to copyrights
(bring headphones and watch on a school computer after
school)
Contact your own teacher
directly with questions.
don't forget to
input your CORRECT e-mail
address in SWIFT messages
so teachers can reply
