The one that most of them used was the one on the board – Problem, Research, Hypothesis, Design Experiment, Test Hypothesis, Gather Data, Conclusion.  Some of these were too great to pass up.  So I’m putting them here. ;)

Pink rabbits hide down the green chamber.

One hundred years ago, no one would have expected that televisions, video cameras, compact disc players, and computers would be common household items.  In the last century, technology has continually changed the way people do things.  Sometimes, technology makes life easier, and sometimes it makes it more difficult.  Answer the following questions about technology in your life.

1.  How does technology affect you?

2.  Give positive and negatives – 2 positives, 2 negatives, or one of each.

3.  Give 3 examples

This does NOT need to be in complete sentences.

Didn’t get very far in our notes, but that will come tomorrow.  But we did talk about spontaneous regeneration.  So, does that mean if we play a computer game long enough, the people in the game will pop out and run around the room?  Hmmmm…
