Extra Credit
This is an extra credit assignment for those students who would like to improve their grades. The assignment is due on Monday, Sept. 23.
First:
The first part of the assignment is to watch the TED Talk titled, "Apollo Robbins: The art of misdirection."
Second:
Write a 5 paragraph essay explaining how "Frank" is related to what we learned in class about multitasking. Your essay should have:
1) an introduction paragraph
2) three detail paragraphs
a) The first detail paragraph should explain who "Frank" is.
b) The second detail paragraph should explain how Frank relates
to our topic of multitasking.
c) The third detail paragraph should explain how this information
can help you be a better student.
3) a conclusion paragraph
Make sure your essay is well written. Do your best.
Oh, and I know this requires a lot of thinking on your part. That's the point.
If you want to review the information about multitasking, here's a link to the partially completed Bubble Map for the multitasking article. You spent two days in class working on that Bubble Map, so you should have it finished. And here's a link to the multitasking article.

Homework
If you didn't pass the first test on the basics of science, this homework will be a chance for you to learn what you missed in class.
First, go to this website and read about variables.
For each type of variable, write a definition in your own words.
Make sure to read the link about creating a fair test. Then, write one paragraph explaining why a "fair test" is so important in science.
Finally, identify a) the independent variable, b) the dependent variable and c) at least five controlled variables that would be needed for an experiment to test this hypothesis:
Write all this on a sheet of paper and turn it in by this Friday, which is Friday the 13th.
Homework is 10% of your class grade. Plus future tests will also include questions related to the basics of science. You need to understand these basic concepts in order to understand science.

Lab Safety
During this year's Life Science class, I will be teaching students how to conduct scientific research. But, for us to do labs, students need to know and practice basic lab safety procedures. So, in class today, I taught students about lab safety. We went over the Polk County Science Safety Rules and I gave students the Polk County Science Safety Contract.
No student can participate in a science lab until the Safety Contract has been completed and signed by a parent or guardian. The Contract was assigned as homework and is due tomorrow, Friday, August 23.
If you would like to review the lab safety information, you can read over the Safety Rules and you can watch the two videos I showed in class.
