Science 90 - Sept 4

I was mistaken today as to which day we were going to the theatre for the Grade 9 Orientation.  This will occur tomorrow during Period 4.  A reminder to students to come to class tomorrow so I can take attendance and then we will all head to the theatre together.

Today we learned about variables and what they mean in a science context and then we had a little activity that taught us about the different types of variables that we will deal with in a science experiment.  We also learned about the different types of observations that are made when performing a science experiment.  These notes are found on slides 12-15 in the Science 90 Intro Notes powerpoint.  Make sure you have a copy of these notes.

We finished class by working on two pieces of homework that allow us to apply our knowledge of variables and observations.  The first one is called the Variable Worksheet and the second one is called Observation Worksheet.  These are found in the Science 90 course notes link on the right.  These 2 worksheets along with the activity we started yesterday (scientific article summary) is now due on Monday. We will go over everything on Monday and I will be checking these things.
