Below are links to a practice quiz and the solutions. I have shown work the way that I expect students to show their work. This practice quiz will be VERY similar to the real quiz tomorrow.
(The first file is a Word 2007 file. If you do not have 2007 it may not open. The second file is a PDF with the answers to the problems on the Word file. I’ll try to remember to save both as PDF files next time!)

There will be a quiz on Thursday covering metric conversions and density. Students will be given several problems where they will have to convert from one metric unit to another. They will also be asked to calculate density, mass, and volume using the formula d = m/v.

Wyandotte Public Schools has a link to our photovoltaic panels. We are very excited about the panels and the website. It includes a webcam, and graphs that show how much energy is being produced, how much money they save in energy costs, and how many kilograms of carbon dioxide they keep from our atmosphere. http://weather.wyandotte.org/wilson.html Enjoy!

Welcome back! I’m looking forward to a great school year. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to be back in the science department full time.

I will try to update this site frequently. If you want to leave a comment or have a question, it is probably best to email me at brovong@wy.k12.mi.us or to call me but feel free to leave a comment. In the future, I will be using this site to post photos and class projects. Your child will be bringing home a permission slip with more information about this.

Have a great school year!

Greg Brovont
