Week 13 Blog, Due Sunday, December 2nd by 11:00 PM

We have already completed almost 13 weeks of school.  The first 9 weeks we did not have tablets in the classroom, but for the past four week's we have used the android tablets just about every day.  What I would like for you to do for this weeks blog is discuss the following:
1. Do you like/not like having the tablets and why.
2. Has your grade improved or gone down since we started using the tablets and why.
3. Anything you would like us to try with the tablets that we have not done so far.
4. Do you think we rely on the tablets too much or its just right.
5.  Anything else you want to add.
Remember, you need to post an original comment as well as comment on another person's blog to receive full credit for the week.  If you have any questions or problems, you need to let me know BEFORE Sunday evening by email, twitter, or Google voice (281-310-0940).  Happy Blogging!

Week 12 Blog, Due Sunday, November 18th by 11:00 PM

Now that the school science fair is over, I would like you to reflect on your project.  What did you do well?  What would you do differently now that it is over?  What grade would you give yourself?  When deciding your own grade think of the following guidelines:
1. The originality of your idea
2. The amount of quality time you spent on your project outside of class
3. The amount of effort you put into developing your idea and display
4. The quality of your lab notebook
5. The effort put forth by you compared to your partners, if you had any
6. The level of difficulty of your topic
I would like to congratulate the following groups for moving on to the district level science fair:
Cynthia Leuvano, Jessica Ipina, and Kimberly Gutierrez
Ivonne Castillo and Breanna Gariet
Nathan Ponce, Edward Lucio, and Elida Rodriguez

Week 11 Blog, Due Sunday, November 11, 2012

We have been talking about many different forces throughout the week.  I would like to know which force(s) and/or concepts are the most confusing for you.  If you believe you have mastered all of the types of forces we have talked about and know the concepts equally as well, pick an object or situation and make some observations.  Tell me what the object or situation is and then tell me the forces involved, the approximate magnitude of each force, and in which direction each force is acting.  Remember, your post must be complete by 11:00 pm on Sunday for full credit.  You must make an original comment and comment on at least one other post for full credit.  Late posts will be reduced to half credit.  If you have any problems or have questions, please let me know by 4:00 pm Sunday.  May the force be with you!
