Hello everyone,

Here is everything that has gone on this week:

Forensics

We are wrapping up the unit on Blood with a test tomorrow.  Class has been reviewing for this test all this game via games, classwork, and study guides. The best way to go about studying would be to read through your notes and look through the review packet questions we used during the review game today.  Taking a look at the blood quiz would be beneficial as well ! Remember the quiz is on blood basics (how it functions/what its made of), bloodstain patterns (passive, projected, etc.), and velocity spatter (causes of low, medium, and high velocity)

Homework

Study for Test
Try to get make-up/late work in before break !

Integrated Science

This week we took a look at thermal energy and matter.  We will wrap up this short segment with a quiz tomorrow.  This is a partner quiz ! The best way to go about studying would be to read through your notes from class and look at the study guides.  Homework and classwork worksheets are also very beneficial !

Reminders
Late Buses Tues & Thurs !

Homework Club = Tuesdays in Room 218

Period D: Keep working on science fair.  We will address sci fair again on Friday.  Over break you should set up your experiment and collect data.  Remember, projects are tentatively due Feb 1st so you should be performing the experiment soon if not already.  I will hand back Lit Reviews on Friday.  I am missing a few so if you did not hand it in you should do so ASAP. If you are having really bad project problems you also need to let me know so we can straighten it out or go in a different direction.
