o Use the master located in the “H” drawer and read off the answers

o Instruct the students to record the NUMBER of CORRECT answers at the top

§ Remind them that each question on the math side is worth two points!

o Have them turn the HW back into you so I can record their grade

· Kids have already been versed on the “making a baby activity”

· They already have the “data” sheet

· Please pass out the numbered Lab instruction sheets that are located in the “h” drawer to the right of the white board. They only need one per group

o Instruct students to work on this activity..it will be due next class

o Remind them they will be graded on the quality of their baby drawing

o Blank paper for their drawing is located in the “H” drawer

o Colored pencils for this drawing is located by the computer

· HW:

o Remind them that the “test cross” worksheet they got last class will be due Wed.

o Their baby’s will be due Wed.

· Please put these supplies back in the “H” drawer when you are done so other classes have use of them

o PLEASE make sure you get all the numbered lab instruction sheets back, so they are available for all the other classes today and put them back in the “H” drawer
