7th-8th Grade: Week of May 11-15

Hello,
As mentioned last week, I will be absent this Wednesday and Thursday (Mr. Westermann will be your substitute teacher). We will continue with our study of motion this week. The homework and DUE dates are as follows:

Tuesday, May 12: Explain the following in complete sentences:
  1. Explain the difference between dependent and independent variables in an experiment.
  2. Why should an experiment only change one independent variable at a time from trial to trial?
  3. Describe an imaginary experiment conducted in a good way and in a bad way.
Also, the Xavier Bicycle Safety Day is on Saturday, May 16 from 9 am -11:40 am at school. See me if you are interested in participating.

Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester
