Safety and Lattitude & Longitude

Today students reviewed safety rules by looking over a cartoon and trying to figure out what the people were doing correctly and incorrectly. They also had to identify the rule numbers (which is a lot more effort). Then students played a quick round of Fact or Scat where they had to decide whether statements about safety were true or false. There were also some getting to know you questions like "how do you squeeze a tube of toothpaste?" and "who was your first significant other?" Giggling abounded as students reviewed and got to know the people they were sitting with. The safety test will be tomorrow (Wednesday).

To finish class, we discussed latitude and longitude, how to figure it out, and its uses. I walked them through how to determine latitude and longitude for a point and then they practiced. Students will finish that up in class on Wednesday.

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.
