Today in class...students' received their atmospheric pressure assessment and we discussed the retake policy. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the policy, there are several important things to know...
- Students who do not meet proficiency (lower than a 2.3) are REQUIRED to attend a relearning session. Relearning sessions will occur Tuesday after school with me, Wednesday morning (7:10am) in my room, and Wednesday after school with Ms. Hanson in room 202.
- During these sessions, we will walk through the assessment and address any misunderstandings and discuss the main ideas.
- After students have made the necessary corrections, they will be able to retake a similar assessment at any time on Thursday.
The second part of class we discussed our results from the Modeling Water Vapor activity. We walked though this as a class because the concepts are quite difficult to understand. In addition to the main ideas from our humidity discussion (blog entry Oct 4), we learned that warmer air has the ability to hold more water vapor while colder air holds less water vapor.
