Good afternoon.  Here is everything that went on today & homework

Forensics

Today we discussed the four techniques for examining DNA.  We had looked at these techniques in an article a few weeks ago but today reviewed them as a class.  I also handed back the quizzes on DNA which we went over as well as miscellaneous assignments pertaining to the DNA unit.  We will wrap up DNA tomorrow by talking about paternity testing and examining the gel from gel electrophoresis.

Homework

Today I handed back classwork as well as the quiz on section 3.1 (States of Matter) which we went over in class.  In Periods C,E, and G I also introduced an essay about water.  We will have class time on Wednesday and Friday to work on this.  The paper is due on Monday 12/3.  You have a checklist for what needs to be included in the paper and tomorrow I will give you a rubric for the writing assignment.  We started our section on gas laws and tomorrow we will continue with some interesting demonstrations !  Period D continued to discuss science fair and what needs to be done going forward.  Period D will work on their literature review tomorrow and Wednesday.  the Lit Review is due Monday 12/3
