ABS

Ladies and Gentlemen,
 We can build an Artificial Body System. We have the technology.
We have the capability to make the world's first ABS that actually works.
Better... stronger... faster.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-D99_UBhaU

Blood Moon or maybe just Orange.

A possible Blood Moon starts the week of Tuesday morning at 3:06 a.m.. What's a Blood Moon? Well it certainly has nothing to do with the Circulatory System. It's all about us! Yup! We have a tendency to get in the way and when I say,"we" I mean the Earth.
    The Earth will be in line between the sun and moon and much of the light that strikes the moon will have refracted through our own atmosphere. If we have a lot of volcanic ash in the upper atmosphere we'll see a more reddish moon, but if the upper Stratosphere is clear right now so we'll probably see an Orange Moon!

NWEA

   This weeks starts the NWEA test for Science. It's the second time students will have taken this test this school year.  This type of test adjusts, as the the user answers correctly or incorrectly. Students who do well, will most likely see questions that might even be found in college.
   The test will make the next question harder as the user answers correctly and also make the question easier as he or she answers incorrectly. As a teacher I'm excited about how my students take this test seriously. I'm looking for students to improve a few points from the last test, which to me illustrates growth. But...... sometimes we all have a bad day no matter how hard we try and I'm confident that my students are developing scientists no matter what score appears at the end of one test.
