We will be focusing on Energy Transfer and Transformations.  Your Final project will be to be design a Rube Goldberg Machine.  This will be a challenging assignment where you will really need to be creative and think outside of the box!  There are TONS of resources and videos to watch to help you along the way and it will be collected on the LAST day of class (June 18).  A video of your Rube Goldberg machine in action must be submitted with the assignment.

Happy Monday Everyone,

Update for “in class instruction”:  This is OPTIONAL, online learning will continue and in class instruction is just for additional support if you need it.  There will be no penalty for not attending.  The schedule is as follow:

Happy Monday Everyone!!

Last week of May, heading into our Last couple weeks of school!

As you all have heard, the school will be re-opening on part time basis starting June 1st.  You will soon be given the information on when and how you will be able to access the school.  I want to reassure everyone, that attendance is OPTIONAL.  You will not lose any marks or miss out on any information by remaining online.  All of the notes, assignments and resources will still be posted on my blog and collected through teams.  The “In school” portion will be designed to help those individuals who need additional support or those of you who still have a missing test from before spring break.

The time you will be able to access the school are still being determined and you will find out sometime this week.  I am still happy to do Teams chats with those individuals who need additional support but do not feel comfortable coming into the school.

More Info on School Reopening to come!
