Ch.20 Sec. 3 DRW due Thursday & Friday.  This should be homework for most students....only a few finished in class.

Balloon Car School Champion - Nick Roberts....new school record 23.31 meters!  WOW!

We begin our study of the Solar System by comparing the size of our planet to the rest of our Solar System and other suns.....and find that we are
so very tiny.  Students will work on Ch. 20 DRW in class, but may have to complete some of it at home or in extension.  We will grade Sec. 1 & 2 Wednesday and Sec. 3 on Friday.  
There will be a
VOCABULARY QUIZ over Ch. 20 next Tuesday, 5/15 & Wednesday, 5/16 See the Documents & Review Sheet site for the review.  Students will be taking notes this week.

BENCHMARK TEST - May 17 & 18    Students will take a benchmark over materials covered in the 3rd and 4th nine weeks.  We will review in class next week.

ROCKETS - We will be building and launching Estes Rockets the week before Memorial Day. This will culminate our upcoming unit on the Solar System & Space Travel.  Please send $7.50 to cover the cost of the rocket.  Checks should be made out to FJH ROCKET $ or send exact cash, if possible.  Each student will build and launch their own rocket.....a blast! (Pun intended!!)  Please send money ASAP....

TUTORIALS - THURSDAY 3:45 - 4:45  Students should notify me if they are planning to stay for tutorials.
