Goals for this week in science.....

WHAT AM I DOING TO HELP KIDS ACHIEVE?

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE THERE?

WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?

     I have to say that I am cautiously hopeful.  I administered both Lawson Tests and the MOSART test to all my classes.  It was quick, painless and provided me with unbelievable information.  I actually have a handle of what students do know, what they do not know and some misconceptions they may have. Regardless of how they do on their SLO's, I think I will probably always do some form of this.  I even found some scoring guidlines for the Lawson test that is helpful.

     The goal for this week...we will be doing Gas laws this week in Academic.  We have already done the particulate level with "scientists tool chest".  I found a great Charle's Law lab that is quick and easy.  I hope to hit the students with the Legos idea we used last year and do a POGIL with the two labs we are doing.  In Accelerated, we are going to hit measurements and sig figs but I also have a POGIL we are doing with Sig Figs.  So far...so good...but it is only the second full week of school....
