Bell Work Week of 2/5 to 2/9
MOND AY mechanics. And yet, he nearly failed his doctorate exam because he did not know how to use experimental apparatuses or answer some simple questions about batteries. What do you think is more important a general knowledge of everything or expertise in one area? ANSWER THIS PROMPT: You may use your phone Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg was a genius in theoretical physics. He was one of the pioneers of quantum
TUESDAY ANSWER THIS PROMPT: CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS School should run all year long. State State and support support your opinion.
WEDNESD AY list of 5 potential jobs that students of computer science can obtain. How much money do they make? Which job appeals to you the most? COMPUTER SCIENCE Define computer science. Then, create a
THURSDA Y 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 ANSWER THIS PROMPT: The Black Rhino population in South Africa was increasing in the 2000s. Some data is missing. Interpolation Interpolation is when data between two known points is estimated using graph. Extrapolation Extrapolation is when data is estimated beyond the known values using the trends of the graph. Black Rhino Population in South Africa 1145 Year 2000 2001 1225 1328 1384 1456 Create a line graph of the known data. Use the graph to interpolate the values for years 2001, 2003 and 2007, as well as extrapolate the predicted values for 2011 and 2012. 1587 1678 1916
FRIDAY OPINIONS MATTER SPECIES DISCOVERY There are not many restrictions when naming newly discovered species of plants and animals. Some scientists like to have fun and give their discoveries silly names like tasseled wobbegong (a type of shark) and the golden horse fly called scaptia beyonceae. Suppose you found a new species (of any type - your choice): what would you name it? Add a drawing and a description that explains the name.
