This Wednesday, May
If you have anything to make-up, you MUST SCHEDULE WITH ME AHEAD OF TIME so that I may have your assignment ready.
If the assigment you need to make up is old (more days than you were absent), you will have to get a SUPER LATE PASS. The Super Late Pass must be signed by your parents and turned in no later than May 16th.
If you haven’t noticed, our test on Acids and Bases is this Wednesday, May16th.
Friday, May 18th, we will bend glass and make smores! I’ll provide the ‘mallow, you bring the chocolate & graham! (although… some friends of mine prefer what they call smores plus)
A very popular question right now!

In answer to the age-old question “What grade do I need on my final?”, I have the following:
Use one of these gradesheets to calculate your grade in the class right now. Use i-Parent to get your individual grades if you haven’t been keeping up. E-mail me and ask (nicely) for a grade printout if you don’t have access to i-Parent. You can use this gradesheet to calculate hypothetical grades too! They’re both in MS-Word format so you can edit as needed. Of course, I’d like to point out that you do not need Microsoft Word to read/edit these. Use Google Documents online for free!

gradesheet-physics.doc
Click here to see a formula to figure out what grade you need to get on the final exam. (This works for any weighted-system with a final exam equal to 10% of the total grade. I made a document somewhere that outlines how to calculate this for other percentages. I’ll add a comment to this post once I find and post it so you can use it for other classes.)
My web site has been restored. Yeah! Apparently there was a hardware failure on the server and the techies at my webhost had to go restore all accounts manually, one-by-one. I thought it’d be easier to ask tech support to restore it to whatever state it was in on Friday, April 20th, but it looks like the best they could do was the 18th or 19th.
Any changes between about April 18th or 19th and April 26th are gone forever. This includes posts to my blog and any emails sent to me @PlanetLanham.com. Emails sent to my @CobbK12.org address are unaffected.
I believe there were only two posts lost on my blog from before the server crash. One bonus question each for physics & chemistry. I gave out the physics bonus on paper and it’s already been turned in. Yes, those questions will appear on today’s test, but since you had them printed and I reposted the question the other day (which meant it was on my blog for a few days) I will not post it again. The chemistry bonus was lost, but I’ll post another one later. The only other posts lost were about the server crashing. Now that everything is (fairly) back to normal there is no need to repost those. I’ve asked tech support to recover posts from the 18th-20th, but I’m not sure if it will happen.
The password function isn’t working on the Documents and Downloads Folder so I turned it off. As soon as it’s working again I’ll turn it back on and you’ll have to login to that folder again.
Thanks for your patience.
I’ve begun updating my flash cards again.
Physics: The updated flash cards start with the next unit.
Chemistry: I put all of the root words into a single flash card file.
Click the “Flash Cards” link on the sidebar of this page.
Since our chemistry test today was so much fun, I thought we’ d do some more on Monday!
Seriously, you will have 30 minutes Monday morning to complete today’s test.
Don’t forget to bring your moles!
