Answers to "Radioactive Elements" guided reading |

On Wednesday, March 17, we finished the notes about radioactivity. Some classes saw two Brainpop videos.
On Tuesday, March 16, students took notes from a PowerPoint about radioactivity.
On Monday, March 15, students worked to finish the following "old assignments":
1) Radioactive Elements, from the workbook. We started this on Thursday after the Benchmark Test.
2) "Measuring Up" questions about electricity and magnetism. We started this on Wednesday after the chapter test.
3) "Scientific Inquiry"; 5th period started this today in worksheet form; everyone else started it Friday after the video, from the workbook.
4) "Laboratory Safety," started today. 6th period had worksheets; everyone else had workbook pages.On Friday, March 12, students saw a video about Greatest Discoveries in Physics. They answered questions during the video. (Periods 4 and 6 turned the questions in.) After the video, students in periods 3, 4, and 6 read part of Chapter 1 and worked on pages 11-15 in the workbook. I did not take it up.
On Thursday, March 11, students took the Benchmark Test for the 3rd Nine weeks in the computer lab. After the test, students read the last section of chapter 4 (Radioactive Elements) and filled in the workbook pages for that section. (Many people did not finish.) I have not taken that up yet.
On Wednesday, March 10, students took a test over atoms and the periodic table. After that, students read a section of the "Measuring Up" book and answered some questions about electricity and magnetism.
On Tuesday, March 9, students worked with partners to answer questions on a foldable. Students worked alone to complete a crossword puzzle. TEST TOMORROW!! Study your notes (click on link at the right), your Review and Reinforce Sheets, your foldable, your Chapter 4 crossword puzzle,(not the dark black one,) your video notes from March 8, and your BOOK.
On Monday, March 8, students watched a video that reviewed the history of atomic theory development; they took notes as they watched and kept the notes. After the video, students completed 4 "Review and Reinforce" sheets for chapter 4 and turned them in. Students finished the crossword puzzle that was started Friday.
