End of Term Reflection
Here are some of the activities we did in class this term: Harper's Magazine ("Boots on the Ice"), Hurricane Evacuation Plan, Designer Babies (GATACA), Genetic Diseases, Evolution Movies/Research, NYT Science Reviews, Punnett Squares, Chemical Bond Diagrams, The Periodic Table, The Birth and Death of Stars

[I enjoyed trip through the neighborhood, as well as the global warming movies and NYT Science Articles. ] Computer Class = I felt in the computer room that even though we had more information at out finger tips the temptation to stray to other sites was in the back of my mind. Less is best especially when you have a projector and internet access in our classroom downstairs. Videos = More, i learn quicker by watching something than just talking about it. Student Group Activities = Fine the way it is. Evaluations = Fine don't change a thing. I think success in this class has a lot to do with the people your surround yourself with and the amount of focus one has. You do try and teach us with many diagrams and example, so i feel its up to the student.
