Enthalpy Lab

ATTENTION CHEMISTRY STUDENTS

ΔH_met = ΔH_cal + ΔH_wat

All trials for the enthalpy lab need to be completed by the end of the day on Friday 2/11.  You can come in before school, after school or during study halls (if OK'd by me) to complete your trials if you aren't able to get 3 different metals within 10% error during class.  Keep careful track of all your data as your lab reports will be due on Monday 2/21.

Open House - Thursday Feb. 3rd (5:00pm - 7:00pm)

Come check out my room during the ELGHS Open House and see a demonstration of some Vernier lab technology being used with a Promethean board.

Marsh Tower Physics

On Friday, the Physics class took a field trip to the Sheboygan Marsh to take measurements of objects dropped from the top of the Marsh Tower.  It was chilly and windy, but well worth the temporary numbness.

Study Sessions

Beginning tomorrow, there will be scheduled weekly study sessions for physics and chemistry students who want some extra help.  The schedule is as follows:

Friday Morning Physics 

Every Friday before school from 6:45am - 7:45am (coffee and doughnuts are not frowned upon). The focus will be physics, but if time permits other students can get help as well.

Chemistry Wednesday 

Every Wednesday after school from 3:00pm - 4:00pm.  The focus will be chemistry, but other students are certainly welcome after chemistry concerns are met.

Trees For Tomorrow

Attention Biology Students:
Once again the Sheboygan County Conservation Association is sponsoring three tenth graders to go to Trees for Tomorrow Camp from November 7th - 10th.  This is a GREAT opportunity to learn about natural resources and get hands-on experience in the beautiful setting of Eagle River, WI.  Activities include: tree ID, GPS, hike in the porcupine mountains, survival skills, and much more.  If interested see Mr. Moore ASAP.  For more information check out their website at: http://www.treesfortomorrow.com/index.htm
