Science Exit Projects

It's that time of year when we will be working on our Science Exit Projects. This post will be used for anything related to your groups science exit project. If you have any questions for me or any of your classmates, post them as a comment and they will be reviewed. Good Luck!

Extra Credit for My Students

Since many of you cannot get enough science and it seems that are always students asking me for ways to get extra credit, I will accept any review of a science current event. I believe that it is very important that we constantly read and evaluate new findings by scientists and I strongly encourage all of my students to do the same.

On this page there are several news feeds from different science news sources. Click on an article of interest, read it, and provide me a brief summary as well as your opinion on it. For each article you review, I will give you an extra credit point. You may use any other source for your article, but include it along with your summary.

Post work as a comment to this thread. Students may respond to other students work as long as it is constructive criticism or with additional information.

Welcome to the Science Zone!

Hello all and welcome to my blog! This blog will be the place for everything science related, from extra help in my science classes, to questions from parents, or just for those of you that are curious about our natural world. As a science teacher I am always finding that people are always interested in some aspect of scientific discovery and I hope this blog can be just another avenue to ask questions, discuss solutions to problems, and exchange ideas. Once again, nice of you to stop by to read my blog and hopefully you'll be back.
