8th: Today we reviewed the Electromagnetic Spectrum and worked through the assessment questions on page 81. THen I showed them a section of the movie Contact, with Jodie Foster. It’s about a team of scientists who receive messages from outer space in the form of electromagnetic waves. I just show the parts related to science. None of the unrelated material.
7th: Today we reviewed some terms and the assessment questions over metals from page 95 int he text and began watching a portion of a PBS/Nova video called “Making Stuff Stronger.“ Excellent chemistry video!
