Because you guys have a STEM meeting next Thursday, the test will be pushed to Thursday, February 5th. I have a review packet for you to do at the library next Thursday, but I will not be there since it is a STEM meeting.
Here is the worksheet: http://docs.google.com/document/d/1cOfJ5iTUPaWcdeu6iDoGYgN6G6lkoh86TVrFbV9Vl3I
IMPORTANT: Since I do not want to waste any time, the homework assignment this week will be Unit #10 of the new packet (which you don't have yet). It is located on pages 54 and 55 of the worksheet here (it is on wildfires and volcanoes): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tMFQ2cP8FHsVgI1LFHsVa9jgyUsCxuF5yGTGNuLqZgI (Q501-526). You can print out the two pages if you like. There will not be a quiz on this section because of the midterm you will be having instead. Also, this material will not be on the midterm; the midterm will only cover Units 1-6.
Have a nice STEM meeting and an extra week of studying! Now you have to get a 100%... >:)

Exam Update
Make sure to study the cloud worksheet we did two weeks ago (the one with the joke) as well.
Also, if you guys manage to get above 132/138 (which is a 95%), I might still get you something since a 95% is pretty hard as well. We'll see. :)

Final Exam
The final exam will take place next week, on January 29th. It will cover everything we learned so far.
It will be a group test. There are 78 questions: 72 multiple choice and 6 essays.
The first 72 multiple choice questions consist of 18 stations. Each station contains 4 questions: 2 multiple choice and 2 true/false. The MC questions are worth 2 points each, and the T/F questions are worth 1 point each. You will have 1 minute to answer each station.
The 6 remaining questions will be 1 minute essays, covering any topic we went over this year.
So there are (36 MC x 2 points) + (36 TF x 1 point) + (6 essays x 5 points) = 138 total points.
Here are the rewards:
138/138 - If you guys get a perfect score, I will buy you the thing you wanted (I forgot what it was though). This test will be hard, so a 100% would be an amazing achievement.
125/138 - This is a 90%. If you get over 125 points, we can do something fun the week after. Or anything else you guys would like to do.
111/138 - This is the lowest score you can get to still pass. If you get lower than this, shame on you. (It's an 80%).

Our next meeting will be on Friday, January 23rd at the library instead of Thursday, January 22nd due to midterms at the high school. :( Please bring a computer there if you want to have some fun, just saying...
Midterm will be on 1/29. And then we start all the important stuff.

Quick Update
If you haven't already, now would be the time to start looking back at the stuff we covered in the beginning of the year. At the end of this month, we will be having a midterm over everything in the packet.
At the next meeting (Jan. 15), we will be taking a quiz on Earth's atmosphere and pressure. We will also go over all the answers to the worksheet, just so you guys can have correct information to study from.
The following week (Jan. 23), we will be at the Plymouth Library. That week, we will be taking our final quiz before the big test. It will be on Humidity and Temperature. I will give out one final packet on that day about some cloud information for you to do, and everything from the beginning to that point will be fair game for the test. Also, we will be doing something fun that day in order to review.
We will be taking our midterm exam on Jan. 29 at Miller. It will be structured like the Science Olympiad test, with timed stations consisting of 4 questions. It will be a group test, and will begin at 4:00pm. Any time before that you can use to study, ask questions, or do anything else. The test should not take over 30 minutes because it is timed, but I will be explaining the format later in class.
We will be meeting on the following Saturday (Jan. 31) at the library to discuss the test and do anything fun you guys want to do. After that, we will start covering the important topics at a faster pace so that you guys can have all the information needed for the invitational on April 18th.
