Finishing Sharks

Today students answered some questions about stingrays based on a short article from the Richmond Times Dispatch. Students then identified which senses a shark could use to detect a person in the water whether they were bleeding, splashing, or just floating.

Students participated in a tough challenge about sharks some students made up during zero block and only Maria S got a perfect score though there were lots of folks who only missed one.

Students tested their knowledge with a shark puzzle and Zac was the fastest. Afterwards students finished up some odds and ends and took the shark test.

We finished the day with a film called Anatomy of a Sharkbite which follows a scientist Erich Ritter and his experience with a Bull Shark bite as well as analyzing shark attacks and bites on others in an effort to understand sharks. We will conclude the video tomorrow.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.

Computer Lab Etiquette

You are in the computer lab to do work for this class. If you are not doing work, then we will have problems.

Do not pack up early. Work until the bell or until MsJ says.

SAVE OFTEN. And if you save to a key, also save it to your number. If you lose it, you will have to do it again.

If MsJ asks for your attention, stop what you are doing and listen to what she has to say.

You may watch videos about your organism through reliable websites.

You may listen to music through the computer if you have your own headphones. Rule1 MsJ cannot hear it. You get one warning. Rule2 Turn it on and listen – no million clicks and constant changing. Take both ear phones out when MsJ is talking.
