Classes will continue to view the video, "The Day After" in an effort to see the possible consequences of a nuclear attack on the US.  The primary objective of the video is to view the effects of radiation on humans and the environment.

"The Day After", a video depicting the effects of a nuclear bomb detonation in the US will be shown to help students view and attempt to understand the effects of radiation on humans.  Students have already done the vocabulary, so the terms will be used in setting a starting point for the discussion on radiation.

Students were allowed to complete the Radioactivity vocabulary for the days lesson.  We will complete the Radioactivity Review Questions  tomorrow and begin "The Day After" video.

We took the Thermal Energy Test today and began the Voc. for Radioactivity.  3rd Pd is behind due to the assembly on Texting aand driving, so they take their Test on Monday.  Be careful going to the prom and Drive Carefully!!!  Go Bulldog Baseball in the Semifinals of the AHSAA baseball playoffs!!!

We finished the Thermal Energy powerpoint, had the Thermal energy Vocabulary Test, completed the Thermal Energy Chapter Review and had the Energy Crossword Puzzle done today.  Those who did not finish the Ch. Review and Crossword Puzzle were told to finish it for homework. The Thermal Energy Chapter TEST will be tomororrow. 

Third Period did not get to finish their notes due to the assembly on Texting and Driving as well as DUI given by State Trooper Summerlin.  It should have gotten the students attention in preparation for the prom to make good choices if you are attending the prom.  The MESSAGE:  Texting and driving don't mix ans well as Drinking and Driving.  Two very attentive videos were shown to help convince students about Texting & Driving.
