Welcome back to a new year at COPE South!
I hope each of you has had a restful summer and that you're ready to begin a new year of learning and achievement!
When you visit this site, you will find pertinent information about the class structure for the day. You can find home learning links, links to videos, virtual labs, and powerpoint here. Occasionally, you may be directed to another site that can display those things in a better manner. Regardless, this is the place you can come for review and/or to find out what you missed or did not have the opportunity to complete in class.
Don't forget; you can always email me at DrGCDMS@dadeschools.net.
Have a wonderful scientific year!

We then watched the short video What good can chemistry do? Students were asked to record (on a sticky) one of the following about the video: new fact learned, something interesting, or a question about the video. This will be placed in the interactive notebook once it is completed.
I cannot post the video here, as it is embedded in your text. I will assign you a user name and password to allow you to experience you book as an interactive tool. Once this is done, you will be able to view the videos associated with the text.
We began a review of the scientific method by performing (whole class) a GIZMO entitled Disease Spread. Once completed, we will write a summary using the CER method (claim, evidence, reasoning). If you didn't get a chance to finish the GIZMO, see me and I will assign you a user name and password so that you can finish it at home.
Don't forget, you have a home learning assignment. It is due on Friday for periods 1 and 3. You can find the home learning below. Just click the image to print a copy. Remember, you are to write answers only for me on your own paper. Write your answers on the handout for yourself so that we can check your work and you can have a study copy!
