Monday & Tuesday, August 10th & 11th

Opening: Readiness Check
Closing: Syllabus

Today we are starting with a presentation on a contest we have in class to see which tables are the most ready. You can see the presentation here:




After that we are learning to use the lab table areas for lab activities. We are doing a laboratory activity called Drops on a Penny. You can download the notes for this activity here. You may even be able to do this activity at home if you have a water dropper. Here is a video of somebody doing this activity:


After we are finished cleaning up from the lab activity we are getting copies of the class syllabus, which is a document in which I say how I will run the classroom this year. You will get a copy of your engrade code that will let you check your grades on our grading website: http://www.engrade.com/mrtrainer.

Please get your syllabus signature page signed and bring it back to the next class.
