Welcome to Spring Semester!

We have just finished a two-week unit on Thermodynamics. Our test was on February 7, 2011 and covered thermal energy, heat, temperature, and heat transfer. We are starting a new unit called Electricity and Magnetism, Unit 3.

Over the next three to four weeks, we will be studying Electrostatics (or static electricity) and Electrodynamics (moving electricity) via circuits. Our next Science Inquiry Project will be on relationships of variables within a circuit. Students will choose a question to investigate and lead an experiment to discover the answer. This project will be certified and entered into the students' digital archive for use in their Benchmark Portfolios.

If you have any questions, please let me know via email! Happy discoveries!
