Today we underwent my favorite review game. In this review game, there are twenty questions. They come up on the projector. The questions are both multiple choice and fill in the blank. They are 5 points each. There are 5 bonus questions for 1 point each. They are not science related, but are usually very fun. At the end there is a wagering questions. You can wager up to 5 points. We wagered 3 points which is good since we got it wrong. The question asked for the axial tilt of Earth. I answered 23 degrees, but it was 23.5 degrees. My group still did good and there will be another game in the near future where we can win.

Today we completed a review sheet for the Unit 9 quiz tomorrow. It had a lot of good questions on it. I thought the review sheet was quite useful. We also studied the techbook. Studying the techbook is really important because many of the questions on there are used in the quiz. The assessment I took was well rounded and good. It tested us about Adiabatic and Advective cooling, cloud types, and other things in the unit. It also reviewed a little bit from last unit which is good. I think I am ready for this quiz and it will be good for my grade.

Today we took our Unit 9 Quiz. We will not take the test for the unit since we will now move on to the next and last unit. The quiz was good. I think I will get a good grade on it. It seemed shorter than last time we took one, but maybe that is just because the font was smaller than last time. I was finished relatively fast at the end of the quiz and was able to work on homework a little bit. This was nice.

Today, we reviewed the quiz. Unfortunately, I did not do as well as I had hoped. I made a careless error and thus missed a multiple choice problem.We also started some vocab cards for the next unit. I completed the words astronomical unit, celestial sphere, declination, parallax, and right ascension. One astronomical unit is the distance from the Earth to the Sun. The celestial sphere is cool. It is a sort of round sphere around Earth with unknown radius that contains the stars. It doesn't actually exist, but when we stargaze, it seems like the whole thing we are looking at is a big dome. This is the celestial sphere.

Teacher workday today, so no school for us! Yay! :)
Summary: This week was a good week. We finished up Unit 9 and now we are in the final Unit. I can still improve my efficiency while writing my blog and I will continue to do so.
