Recap of Week 2
This past week we also completed our FFA Activation Week, which is AFSA's version of Homecoming Week. Students played virtual games in advisory and much fun was had by all!
Mrs. Crowley-Ag
Ms. Patt
This coming week we will learn how to paraphrase research material, create an outline, and how to create APA citations. In short, we are learning how to gather and note all the background information needed to write the Review of Literature. In addition, Ms. Vorwald will continue to tackle the artistic side of Science Fair by discussing infographics and fonts.
It's going to be a fantastic, busy, learning week!
Mr. Jones-Science
This upcoming week we will be going over writing a good hypothesis statement and the elements of experimental design. In addition, Ms. Spector will be covering graphing and errors/bias in graphing in preparation for the students to produce a great results section. We will also be getting students ready to submit a project proposal for their science fair projects.
