1. Warm-up, 12.01.2009 What is magnetism? What are some machines that require magnets in order to function?

2. Assignment, due Friday: Cool Science Stuff, Part 2 Bring in an article, picture, book, video, or song about a topic in science that is interesting or exciting. Brief (1-2 minute) presentation = 2 grades. Power point or poster-board presentation = 4 grades. Group presentation (3 people max) with Powerpoint and multimedia (music/video) = 6 grades. Group presentation with powerpoint, multimedia, in-class demonstration/experiment = 8 grades.

3. Chapter 14 Scavenger Hunt Get into a group of three. (No, you can’t have more than three. Yes, you can work on your own.) Get a book (Physical Science). First team to find all of the missing words gets a prize. All of the answers are found in chapter 14 (p. 422-449). You may start when I change the slide.
