Ms. Skinner, is there a certain time period that you want our SITN articles from if they have a specific topic? what about just normal SITN articles (for future refernce)?
August 29th, 2012 at 9:56 PM
Kever – for no specific topic, they need to be within the last year. However, when I give you a specific topic, you can go a little further back. In either case, try to be as current as possible.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:40 AM
Do the techniques/results have to be highlighted or may they just be underlined?
September 13th, 2012 at 9:16 PM
When do we need to turn in the SITN for extra credit?
September 13th, 2012 at 10:08 PM
Kyle – You may turn it in any time, there will be a final due date toward the end of each nine-weeks. I won’t count it, though, until the very end of the term.
September 18th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
I’m excited to do my first Science in the News.
September 19th, 2012 at 7:00 PM
Jessie – Me too! I can’t wait to hear what you researched!
September 19th, 2012 at 7:03 PM
Science in the news shows how applicable chemistry is in every day life. I enjoyed doing it. Thanks Ms. Skinner!
September 19th, 2012 at 7:12 PM
Are we allowed to type the Science in the News questions part?
September 19th, 2012 at 7:13 PM
Are we allowed to type the Science in the News question part?
September 19th, 2012 at 7:44 PM
Clare – No, for now it needs to be hand written.
September 20th, 2012 at 8:34 PM
I really enjoyed doing the science in the news!
September 27th, 2012 at 10:48 PM
How much extra credit will the Science in the news give us? I’m thankful to have any opportunity to bring up my grade.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:41 PM
Ms.Skinner, for the extra credit science in the news, does it have to be from the websites you have on the website?
September 30th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Rachel – No, it can be from any other source as well.
October 2nd, 2012 at 7:20 PM
Can we turn in the Science in the News early?
October 2nd, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Mackenzie – Regular SItN, no, but extra credit, yes. If it’s extra credit, put a big, huge X on the outside of it and put it in the makeup work tray.
October 9th, 2012 at 9:35 PM
Ms. Skinner, did you get the Science in the News I left on your computer?
October 9th, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Josh – I got it and I found the missing SItN. You should see the update on Edline. Holler if you don’t.
October 16th, 2012 at 6:26 PM
Hey Ms. Skinner, I know we talked about it in class, but do we not have a SitN this week because of our homework for tonight?
October 18th, 2012 at 3:46 PM
Have you added our bonus points from last 9 weeks extra credit Science in the news?
October 19th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
Will Next weeks Science in the News be STEM?
October 24th, 2012 at 5:24 PM
I’m having the hardest time finding a SITN with a chemical formula in it.
October 24th, 2012 at 9:35 PM
Same here!
October 25th, 2012 at 5:37 PM
Thank you for allowing us to do SITN I really enjoy it!
October 25th, 2012 at 9:37 PM
Finally found a SITN with a chemical formula.
October 25th, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Messed up web post on last name so yea… re-post
January 7th, 2013 at 7:24 PM
Ms. Skinner, does this week’s webpost have to have any specific type of collision or can it just be mainly about momentum?
January 7th, 2013 at 7:35 PM
Hunter –
Just content/class relevant!
January 17th, 2013 at 10:48 PM
Ms. Skinner, since I forgot to turn my SitN to you today before I left and I won’t be there tomorrow, what do you want me to with it?
January 24th, 2013 at 8:17 PM
So for the element topic of SitN, is it ok if the main topic of the News is not the element, but its involved in it?
January 24th, 2013 at 8:44 PM
Rachel – Absolutely what I want you to do!!
January 24th, 2013 at 9:51 PM
Would an article about oxygen treatments be okay for this week’s science in the news?
January 25th, 2013 at 12:37 PM
Marti – Yes, great!
February 6th, 2013 at 9:41 PM
If the science in the news this week is a couple years old, is that ok?
February 8th, 2013 at 2:54 PM
I learned a lot about artificial sweeteners and did not think it was actually more bad for you.
February 10th, 2013 at 12:48 PM
Can we type the SitN? I was just curious.
February 10th, 2013 at 7:26 PM
Eli – No, SItN needs to be hand written.
March 4th, 2013 at 9:02 AM
For the topic of STEM, under engineering, can we have an article about architecture and it be considered engineering?
March 7th, 2013 at 10:19 PM
What is considered a “new research idea” on the science in the news for the DVD worksheet?
March 22nd, 2013 at 11:14 PM
Do you know how many points you are taking off for an off topic SITN?
March 23rd, 2013 at 2:03 PM
Peyton – Not more than 40 or 50. Just kidding, I think your article may have been close enough that I won’t take any off. I’m glad you took the initiative to go ahead a do it!
May 8th, 2013 at 5:28 PM
Ms. Skinner, what if we can’t find a Science in the News about scuba diving on one of the websites you’ve given us?
May 8th, 2013 at 8:40 PM
Sonal – You don’t have to use those, you can use any site that is legit.
May 9th, 2013 at 5:44 PM
I am having a difficult time finding an artical on SCUBA diving… I’ve searched various things, does anyone have a suggestion on what to look up?
May 17th, 2013 at 8:44 AM
Can the extra credit be on any topic ?
