EVIDENCE 1 (3 pieces) – Polar/Nonpolar (front image), Polar / Nonpolar (back image) and Polar / Nonpolar Lab Paragraph.
EVIDENCE 2 (3 pieces) – Water Drop Worksheet (front image), Water Drop Worksheet (back image), Water Drop Experiment Conclusion Paragraph.

For each evidence, complete ONE reflection sheet.
2. When in the science page in your ePortfolio, go to the Help link and: 1. copy a Goal reflection sheet on to your drive, 2. Complete the reflection for evidence 1 then insert it or link it after the polar/nonpolar lab paragraph on your science page. Continue do do the same for your evidence 2 and 3. By the end of the period, you should have all 3 reflection sheets inserted or linked after each evidence.
Use your knowledge of doing this in your other classes to help you complete it.
HOMEWORK: After completing your reflections, click on the following link Naming Hokuleʻa , read the article and follow the instructions for the homework. If link does not work, look in your 2014-15 Science Class Folder for the article.

VTAM quiz next class……………………………
The final VTAM quiz will be this Friday (odds) and Next Monday (evens). Please prepare by doing the practice problems on Mr. Courtotʻs blog.
Your waʻa will be checked at the end of this week for completeness. You may work on finishing your waʻa during both recesses, before school (7:15) or Waikaulele (with Mr. Courtotʻs signature), if Mr. Courtot is in the lab. See below for requirements.
Waʻa Construction Checkpoint Requirements (30 pts):
1. ʻAma, iako and kaele all attached (glued and pegged), hole for kia drilled into kaʻele – 20 pts
2. Kia and paepae attached (glued and tied). Need not be glued to kaʻele yet – 10 pts
NOTE: The peʻa (sail) and lashings will be done in the science classroom next week. At this point, you do not need a hoe. It will be done later.
Last days in VTAM will be this week: Wednesday for odd periods and Thursday for evens. Iako and ʻama need to be attached (glued) to the kaʻele. Kia and paepae need to be attached to each other. If needed, you may work on these tasks during recess or study hall (waikaulele) if Mr. Courtot is in VTAM.
The peʻa (sail) will be attached next week in the science classroom.
With kaʻele, ama and ʻiako done, the next step is to attach them together. We have one more day in the lab. Use your time wisely!
HOMEWORK – Watch Videos 5 and 6 on Mr. Courtotʻs blog.
With blueprints turned in, completing and attaching the kaʻele, ama and ʻiako is the focus for the next class.
