Computer Tech Explore -  Introduction to Technology Explore - Students continued working and learning at their own pace to create their own website using HTML.

Pre-Algebra - Transformations  (Dilations)-   Key terms from the Dilation unit were reviewed and discussed at the beginning of class.  Several examples were shown of how to Dilate an image when the center is the origin and when the center is not the origin.  Sample problems as well as problems 1-3 of the daily assignment were demonstrated for students.  The daily assignment consists of problems 1-6 from the Dilation Handout Packet.  Some students were still struggling when class was dismissed so I encourage them to watch the following video. HW - finish problems 4-6 if not completed in class.

8th Grade Science - Energy -   The Bounce Lab from Friday was discussed in class.  Students then took notes on Heat Transfer and defined Convection, Conduction and Radiation  Following notes students were given a WS to check for understanding of the terms introduced in class today. HW -  finish the Heat Transfer WS if not completed in class

7th Grade Science -  Genetics -  The Punnett Square WS from Friday was reviewed and corrected in class.  Students were asked to correct their own so they could use the Friday WS as a reference for today's assignment.  Students were then given a Genetics WS in which they have to find the Genotype and Phenotype given different genetic crosses . HW -  finish the Genetics WS if not completed in class
