Hi everyone – here is what is going on for the rest of the week

FORENSICS
Today in forensics students took a quiz about blood basics after reviewing blood typing and going over review questions.  After the quiz students should have read the article about blood spatter and answered the corresponding questions.  Blood spatter is out next section which we will start looking into in depth on Monday.  Tomorrow in class I will check these questions and we will watch an episode of CSI that uses blood spatter analysis to solve the crime. Students will also be allowed to make up labs and quizzes while the video is being shown and catch up with missed classwork due to AP exams and field trips just in time for progress reports.  In the blood spatter section we will perform several experiments taking a look at how velocity and angle affect blood spatter patterns and how they can be used to interpret a crime scene.  The blood unit will culminate with a test on both blood basics and blood spatter analysis.

Homework
Finish article questions for tomorrow


INTEGRATED SCIENCE

Today in science students completed a lab investigating the types of carbohydrates found in common foods.  Students determined whether or not monosachharcides or disaccharides were found in the food using qualitative testing.  They interpreted color changes when a reagent was added and used the color changed to understand what sugars compose each food and why.  Today students should have filled in their data tables and tomorrow students will work on the corresponding questions in their groups.  We will go over these questions together and I will collect them for a laboratory grade tomorrow by the end of class.  The students have a quiz on carbohydrates on Tuesday and we will also start reviewing tomorrow (and Monday of course).

**Tomorrow is the last day students can hand in late work from the first half of Term 4 as progress reports come out tomorrow 

Homework
