Microscope Safety
As we start our next mini unit "Microscopes" here are some rules to keep in mind...
1. Always carry the microscope with two hands - one on the arm and one underneath the base of the microscope. Hold it up that it does not hit tables or chairs. Never swing the microscope.
2. Do not touch the lenses. If they are dirty, please raise your hand and ask for the special lens paper to clean the lenses.
3. If using a microscope with a mirror, do not use direct sunlight as the light source - eye damage may result. If using a microscope with a light, turn off light when not in use.
4. Be cautious when handling glass slides and cover-slips. Please do not handle broken glass - notify teacher.
5. Always clean slides and microscope when finished. Store microscope set on the lowest objective with the nosepiece turned down to its lowest position (using the coarse adjustment knob). If using a lighted microscope, turn off light before pulling out the plug.

Electricity Project
Our electricity project is well underway. Our goal is to continue research and compilation today, with some people hopefully ready to present tomorrow.
Here is an example of a simple video that helps explain Hydro Power. We will try and review a few of these as we go!

More Electricity
Today we began our Electricity Production Project. Tonight, think about all the different types, and what one you want to be the expert on. Also, do you want to work with a partner or all by yourself?
Sens face three more must wins. Notre Dame pray for us!!!
