"Kites rise highest against the wind-not with it."-Winston Churchill I think this quote means that some things don't always go the way you want them to go.
 * Reflect on this:**

Today we used the molecular model kits to build various molecules. Did you find this useful, interesting, fun, etc? Explain.
 * Exit Slip:**

Yes, i found molecular models interesting as it gave me a 3-d model of the bonds. I also found it fun because its rare to work with models in class.

How do you know when you should do a double bond or a triple bond on a molecular model?
 * Warm-Up 5-1-12**

This is my answer: To determine a double or a triple bond are the number of valance electrons in the element. "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." -Aristotle Onassis I think this quote means that when things become difficult, it becomes surprisingly easy.
 * Reflect on this:**

What is the relationship between number of holes in the colored ball and the valence electrons for the molecular model? In other words, why do hydrogen balls have only one hole while oxygen has 2? It really depends on the number of valance electrons. The more valence electrons, the more holes, and the bonds become either double or triple.
 * Exit slip:**

How did working with the molecular models help you understand things better? Be specific! What did it help you understand?
 * Warm-Up 5-2-12**

This answer: Molecular models helped me understand this better because it gave me a chance of how the elements were bonded. It also gave me a chance to understand double and triple bonds.

"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine."- Anthony J.D' Angelo
 * Reflect on this:**

I think this quote means that wherever you are, always stay positive. Draw a Lewis structure showing covalent bonding in HCN. How does this compare to your drawing for HCN in your notebook?
 * Exit slip:**

How is it that we are able to walk, to breather, eat, sleep, etc? What makes all of these things possible.
 * Warm-Up 5-3-12**

This is my answer:| What makes all of these things possible is our brain. But our brain wouldn't function without cells. Cells are transmitted throughout our body to send signals to tell us what to do.

What is a natural resource? What are some natural resources that you can think of?
 * Warm-Up 5-7-12**

This is my answer: A natural resource is a non man made substance. It was naturally made. Some examples are: wood ores ( iron, silver, gold) "You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist." -Indira Gandhi
 * Reflect on this:**

I think this quote meas that when you try to make peace don't try to involve anger.

What 3 resources did you choose to write about and why did you choose those 3? I chose these three resources because it is used every day and it needs to be understood that it wont last forever and someday we will run out of it.
 * Exit Slip:**
 * Water
 * Wood
 * fossil fuels

Why is it important to think of ways to conserve and find alternatives for natural resources?
 * Warm-Up 5-812**

This is my answer: Its important to conserve natural resources because once you run out of it then its gone. "Always remember that the future comes one day at a time." -Dean Acheson
 * Reflect on this:**

I think this quote means that you must be patient for whats about to come

Do you find jeopardy helpful for test review?
 * Exitt Slip:**

I found it helpful because it helps me relize what kind of questions there are going to be on the test since both jeopardy and the terst were made by you, Mr. Morrison.

How was the test? What questions did you find difficult? What questions did you find easy?
 * Warm-Up 5-9-12**

This is my answer: I think that the test was usual. Not to hard not to simple. Sme of the questions seemed misunderstanding but i think I got it. “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson I think this quote means that sometimes doing the difficult things is better than taking the easy way out. Yesterday was Day of the Teacher. Do you appreciate your teachers? Explain why.
 * Reflect on this:**
 * Exit Slip:**

Yes, I appreciate my teachers because they help us alot thoughout the year and help us prepare for a bright future. Without teachers, where would our education come from.

This thing on my desk is a Van Der Graaf generator. What do you think it does?

What was happening with the Van Der Graaf generator? What do you think the blue line is made of?
 * Exit Slip:**

The blue line that was being created was electricity. Basically this device generates electrons and can be transmited through other objects if there are open spaces.

What is electricity? Why do electric shocks and lightning bolts happen?
 * Warm-Up 5-11-12**

This is my answer: Electricity is basically the electrons being released from an object. Electric shocks because it has a negative charge and lightning bolts happen because of the conductors.

It happened because I was rubbing my socks on the carpet and the current transffered all the way through my body to the door knob.

Who is in your group for the video presentation? What 6 careers did you decide to research?
 * Exit Slip:**

me (Alex Florendo) - Hydrologist Toxicologist Fatima Lipa - Veternarian Computer Engineer Marshaun Baldwin - pilot Neurologist

What are some careers that you can think of that involve science?
 * Warm-Up 5-15-12**

This is my answer: -Engineer -Hydrologist -Toxicologist -Science Teacher

"What is forgiven is usually well remembered." -Louis Dudek
 * Reflect on this:**

I think this quote means that sometimes it can be difficult to forget your past.

How is your planning going for your video? Does everyone have a job? Do you know how you will do everything?
 * Exit Slip:**

Our planning is going well. everyone is doing there part, so far.. but everyone seems to be cooperative. For my group my part will be filming (some scenes) and editing.

"Age is not important unless you are a cheese."
 * Reflect on this:**

i think this quote means is that age is just a number. It really depends on who you are and not waht you are.

What did you think of the career survey? Were you surprised with your results? Did you find it helpful? Explain.
 * Exit Slip:**

I found the survey interesting. I didn't expect it to find actual careers that i could possibly have just by answering questions. I found this helpful because it gives me an oppurtunity to know that there are jobs for people like me.
