In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Nine Weeks, every three weeks, a 2-page
biography about any scientist is due. There are many
places to start looking for people such as Today in
Science (www.todayinsci.com) or Go
Grolier (go.grolier.com). The school or public
library are both excellent reference areas for your
information. BE SURE TO INCLUDE A MINIMUM OF 2 INFORMATION
SOURCES IN YOUR "WORKS CITED" OR BIBLIOGRAPHY.

Lab Safety Quiz (from Lab
Safety Contract). In addition to the questions, you will be asked
to create a layout for a lab safety poster design on the back of
your quiz. You may do that the evening before & bring it in
or create it in class with your quiz. You should also
familiarize yourself with more Lab Safety rules in Appendix A (pg
763 & 765) in your textbook. This will help you with your
poster ideas. The final finished poster will be due week
2.

Creating LAB REPORTS. Use
PIHEDCR (People In
Here Eat
Different Colored
Rocks) - recall the steps
State the Problem
Gather Background Information (not required for
the lab report)
State the Hypothesis
Setup and explain the Experiment
Collect the Data
State the Conclusion
Repeat the Experiment (not required for the lab
report)
All of the lab reports are in this pattern. Think of giving the
report to someone who knows nothing about the experiment and you
want them to re-create what you did. They need to know everything
about it. That is the lab report.

Prepare a brochure to explain
GAS, SOLID, LIQUID & PLASMA. You should create the brochure as
if you were trying to explain the various states of matter to a
younger student. You may use your computer, or magazine pictures to
help you convey your information. I have also attached a Microsoft
Word template for a brochure as an idea starter. Have
fun!
