If you have been checking in recently I apologize for not updating the blog daily. It has been slipping my mind during the day due to track meets/practices, being sick, and trying to spend every other spare second at school getting my advisory students enrolled.
Chemistry is still working on Ch 14. We did demos on Boyle’s Law today as well as work problems for the combined gas law. Worksheets may be due as early as Tuesday.
Physics is nearing completion of Ch 14 also (Waves). Today we covered superposition (constructive and destructive interference). We watched some applets demonstrating interference. We also took 10 minutes to learn how to juggle 
–Hey, I read where there is a connection between learning to juggle and cognitive functioning so it seemed like a good idea. LOL Worksheets will be due Tuesday for Physics also.

- Mothers matter! High social status and maternal support play an important role in mating success of male bonobos September 5, 2010The higher up a male bonobo is placed in the social hierarchy, the greater his mating success is with female bonobos, researchers have found. But even males who are not so highly placed still have a chance of impressing females. A new study finds evidence of direct support from mothers to their sons in agonistic conflicts over access to estrous females. […]
- Did Viking Mars landers find life's building blocks? Missing piece inspires new look at puzzle September 5, 2010Experiments prompted by a 2008 surprise from NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander suggest that soil examined by NASA's Viking Mars landers in 1976 may have contained carbon-based chemical building blocks of life.

- New bee species discovered in downtown Toronto September 5, 2010A doctoral student who discovered a new species of bee in Toronto has completed a study of 84 species of sweat bees in Canada. Nineteen of these species are new to science -- never before identified -- including the new Toronto bee, which is actually quite common in eastern Canada and the US. The new research will help scientists track bee diversity, and und […]
