Note Taking and Texbook Work-Class of October 9th

Hello!
Ok so on Day 4 of this week we went over information about notes and note taking.

Facts About Learning:

-You lose 47% of what you learned in 20 minutes.
-You lose 62% of what you learned after the first day.

Facts About Note Taking:

-It will be WAY easier to retain information if you:
-Turn off your cell phone, iPod, Radio, Computer, or anything that could potentially distract you during your studying or note taking.
-You need your absolute concetration, so move any objects thtat could potentially distract you, or that you might get bored of your work and use, toys...etc.

For those of you who weren't in class we read from pages: 414-434 (Science Textbook)

We are sadly no longer working on the levers project and will be working out of the textbook due to unsafe behaviour in the classroom.
