Welcome to the 2nd Semester!!

Hey, it's 2015 and this is the last semester of your high school career!  It's going to be busy at the beginning while we finish up our Internal Assessments and try to cram in all of the new material in time to get in some good review in the second half of April.  Then, during IB testing in May, we will do a few fun projects to wrap up the year.

• Mon 2/2:  Hand back final exams and go over them.  Introduce Group IV Project and hand out Field Trip forms.  Please get those signed ASAP so your teachers know that you will be gone.  Introduce Body Response Lab.  Play with equipment and figure out what your want to investigate.  Complete pre-write for Wednesday.
• Wed 2/4:  Data-taking day!  Groups that are ready will start taking data.  Make sure that you are paying attention to how you are taking the data so that you can write up all that you did in your lab report.  When not occupied with the lab (either taking data or being a test subject), complete the Kidney Coloring Sheet.
• Fri 2/6:  Finish taking data for Body Response Lab.  When not busy, work on kidney concepts.  Bring those Field Trip forms signed today or Monday!
• Mon 2/9:  Video on sustainability to prepare for Group IV Project on Wednesday. Do some research on the international nature of this problem.
• Wed 2/11:  Group IV Project.  Meet in the room that you are assigned to by 8:15.  Groups will be posted Monday or Tuesday.
• Fri 2/13:  Debrief Group IV Project.  Check off Kidney Worksheet and go over excretion topics.  Questions on Body Response Lab?  First Draft due Wednesday 2/18 (there is no school on Monday 2/16).
