More info about the program, in case you are interested.

You must be finished with at least six lessons by your birthday to do what it is you have planned. Have you written a schedule yet? Please come up with one, accounting for what you have already done, and let me know. I'd like to see it. I can help you type it up and print it for your notebook.

Physical Science Resources


Here is the schedule for Physical Science. It is your responsibility to stick to it. Consider this week to be week three. You can print new copies of the bookmarks here, if you need to reprint one.

This should help you with your first experiment. Make sure you write it up yourself in your own composition/lab notebook. Here's a sample generic lab report and explanations of the parts of a lab report.

Lab Sheets for different experiments. You may copy these and tape them into your lab notebook (folded). More lab sheets available for each module.

ApplieJuice has write ups of many of the physical science experiments. They may help if you hit a snag.

SAHM I AM also has a ton of useful information, Quizlet links for each module, and links to useful videos. It is a cornucopia of great information. Give it a try!!

Learn more about computers this semester using some of the links to free courses on the Internet. Choose one class (I'd start fairly basic, even if you already know some of the information...you want to make sure you truly understand it all) and then make a schedule to complete the course and track your progress. I can't wait to hear what you decide to do!
