Tomorrow we have our ACT test for juniors which is part of our school's assessment. Good luck to all! This ACT test can be used by colleges or technical schools so is important to many of our students. It is also important to our community ... no one wants to start a business or bring a business (jobs) into a county that has a weak school. The science section is unfortunately last and some of our weaker students' performances falls off after an hour or so ... I am hoping for the best!
In AP today we finished the paper work on our gel electrophoresis lab. Our quiz was on reading gels. We also started our study of population genetics. We will miss AP tomorrow for the ACT test.
We started construction on our catapults today in Selected Topics. This is part of our physics unit. Some students have great designs and we will have our shoot off on Wednesday.
After school was softball practice indoors at BSA. We hit off tees, Mike worked on a bounce tennis ball drill and I was in the cage with two pitching machines ... fastball / screwball. We had 41 players through in just under three hours. A lot of work, but, we are looking better hitting ... our young players have really improved!
I finished the night at the Allen County Beekeepers meeting. The program was by Barry Richards on catching swarms. Some excellent video and ideas. I love the casual conversation at these meetings ... would read like a Steinbeck novel. As always, my beekeeping mentor, Gordon, had some good advice for my continuing adventure as an amateur beekeeper.
ACT tomorrow ... get some sleep!
