Here is what went on today in class:

FORENSICS

In forensics we are finishing up our unit on Fingerprinting.  Today we finished a documentary that delves into how reliable fingerprint evidence is and certain errors that can be made in this field.  the documentary also gave several case studies as examples.  You should have finished the question packet that goes with the documentary and handed that in for class credit.  We then went over the study guide for tomorrows test.  The test covers fingerprint basics, developing prints, and lip prints.  I suggest you read through your notes, review worksheets, and look over the study guide in order to study all the material effectively.  As a class we went over a review worksheet at the end of class that summarized every section. The test format will be multiple choice questions, fill-ins, and short answer questions.  On Monday we Will start the DNA unit

Study for Fingerprint Test

INTEGRATED SCIENCE

WE have started our new unit on chemical reactions.  Everything we have learned thus far about atoms and bonds will come into play as we discuss reactions in which new substances are created but mass is always conserved.  We have taken notes and watched several video clips about chemical reactions and continue to practice balancing equations.  This can be a difficult concept to grasp so we will spend a few days practicing this.  Today everyone traveled to different stations and answers questions at each station with a group.  Tomorrow we will finish this activity and do some more practice in classwork/group work.  All students received a print out of their assignment grades and their averages yesterday and were reminded that  all late work and make up work (including making up tests) is due by tomorrow 4/5 as Term 3 ends tomorrow.
