March 8-12: Waves Continued

This week we'll be studying more about waves. Students will be doing a lab where they will be at different stations learning about how waves work in different situations (water, sound, light, etc.). That lab will take up most of our time this week - it will take a day just to explain what to do at each station, and a couple days to do the work. But it's a great hands-on lab, so they should be getting some good experience with a rather abstract idea like waves.

For rise and stretch this week, I'll be demonstrating a cow heart dissection. Students are not required to come, and I would suggest that if your student gets upset by stuff like that, to go to a different stretch activity.

We will also be having a quiz either this week or next. Since we are not going to have much compeleted on waves, it will probably be a quiz based on some old material to help them review for the CRT end of year state science test which is coming up soon at the end of April.
