Thursday Fishies

Today students did a brief reading on Antarctic Fish and their ability to make antifreeze. They make their own version of antifreeze so that ice crystals do not form in their blood.

Next students participated in a challenge identifying fish mouths, fish tails, and more. Students were very competitive and were trying to get the top score. In first period, Megan scored the highest and in fourth period Terelle beat out Dale by one point. Students were amazed at this picture of the Mekong catfish (which has forked tail).

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.
