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.
We
finished class by discussing coral reefs and passing around coral
skeletons made of calcium carbonate that I have collected on my travels
and inherited from my grandmother. Each hole in the coral houses a
polyp... and all the polyps make up the coral colony. So the polyps make
up a superorganism. We then watched some BluePlanet and learned about
some of their predators like the crown of thorns sea star and saw how
the corals that sometimes look like rocks are able to attack and eat
each other.
