To qualify for the Beta Battle:
Every question is multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, or diagram based.
The question applies to concepts that have been covered in class and are likely to be on the Beta.
The question includes at least one vocabulary word in the question OR the answer.

Please answer questions 4 AND 6 on pg. 147, Question 7 on pg. 148 and questions 10-14 on pgs. 149-152. Read the Electrogmagnet lab and write down the following to prepare for your lab on Tuesday:

DV:
CV:
Experimental Question:
Data Table:

Please complete this reading assignment Individually in class and turn in your work. If you have extra time please compare your procedures for the lab in your teams for when I return on Friday. Thank you for being good and doing good while I'm sick.

Write your experimental question, data table, and procedure for the lab found on pg. 146-147 (eBook Unit 2: Lesson 2/Explore/Explain: Part 2: Magnet Strength and the Magnetic Force)

We will complete the lab in class.

WHAT:
In your lab notebook: Experimental Question, Data Table, and Procedures for Lab 2: Analyze the Magnetic Force

HOW:
Write the experimental question in the form:
1)What is the effect of of the independent variable on the dependent variable measured by data with units controlling for potential issues?
2) Build a data table for your lab based on your question and...
3) Write procedures so that you are ready for Cates-approval on Friday to run your lab.

WHAT: pg. 143 four questions in investigative form from class.

HOW: Last week, you used HMH's portal to copy two of the three research questions and to write two new research questions. Now that we've reviewed how to write experimental questions in the format, "What is the effect of (the independent variable) on the (dependent variable) measured by (data with units) and (controlling for potential issues)?" Please re-write your research questions as investigative questions. You may do this in the portal OR on a separate piece of paper OR in your notebook, but please click "DONE" and bring your work to class with you to edit before we run our labs on Wednesday.

EXAMPLE:
The research question from pg. 143 says, "How do the magnets affect materials that are not magnets?"

The completed Investigative question is: What is the effect of copper, iron, or plastic on the attraction or repulsion of a magnet measured by distance the item travels and controlling for type of magnet, time, and distance of objects?

We got this by following the the thinking path below:

Independent Variable (What is being manipulated): Copper Wire, Iron strip, or plastic (from materials list pg. 143)

Dependent Variable: (the responding variable): Reaction between magnet and material. (What does this look like? They connect, push away, or nothing happens. How do we measure this? With what unit?) Put the material at 10 cm, then 5 cm, then 0 cm and watch what happens.

Controlled Variables: (What could mess up our results?) We should control: type of magnet, distance of objects from the magnets, time, etc.
Potential issues we can't control: Lab materials given to us, time for the lab.

8th Grade Science needs a logo for our crests. Yes, it's just for fun. No, you don't have to. Crest will be voted on next week. :)

Hello!
Thank you so much for subbing for me today. This sub plan is replicated EXACTLY in Google Classroom so that students can help guide you through our routines.

8th grade is a challenging time for many students, thank you for your patience and kindness with my wonderful teenagers today. My students are bright and capable of running the class, please allow them to showcase their awesomeness and help support their independence as needed. Remind students to be patient with each other, that only one student talks at a time and that side conversations should not exist when our Joy Jumpstarters and other student leaders are speaking.

General rules: NO BACKPACKS or CELL PHONES are allowed in the room. I allow students to go to lockers or use the bathroom ONE at a time---have them take the correct pass (hanging on the locker). Students should be kind at all times, if they aren’t please let me know. Students should be supervised and remain in the room at all times (they may not leave the room to “study in the hall” or in the senior lounge). Any student who leaves should sign out and sign in any time they leave the room including to get a drink or go to the bathroom, this should include the TIME they leave and the TIME they return. Any student who is gone longer than 7 minutes will have a plan with me when I return.
