Weekly Email Update
B.E.N. - Bauck Email Network
I have used email to communicate with parents and students since 1997. The Bauck Email Network (B.E.N.) has been in operation since 2000, before school electronic communication became the norm.
Weekly updates are also posted on the Weekly Update page, but I also email other information which I do not post online, such as current event article links.
I email EVERY week, usually on the weekends. If you
think you are on my list but have not received any email,
let me know. If you are not yet a B.E.N.
member, email me at BAUCKL@pcsb.org.

School Year 2024-2025
Weekly Update 14 (11/16/24)
Finish your lab report. Yesterday, I sent pictures of the soil lab class data tables in a separate email.
Lab report guidelines:
One expanded abstract (more than 200 words is OK this time)
Complete materials list of everything used
Procedure: one paragraph per activity is suggested
Discussion: one paragraph per activity is suggested, along with the usual parts
Combined conclusion
Remember the lab questions!
Lab report information:
For particle size for humus, there is no data. Just put N/A or --------.
For the capillary action, listing the rate (mm/time) is preferred.
Please include these data tables in your lab report:
table 2, p. 12
table 3.1, p. 14
table 4, p. 18
table 5, p. 23
table 6.1, p. 25 - add a column to each section, "time for water on top to soak in"
table 6.2, p. 26
A = 10
B = 12
C = 6
D = 9
F = 10
REGULAR Chapter 4 test, before retakes:
A = 7
B = 11
C = 10
D = 6
F = 11
It is important for students to prepare for the first time they test, so they can do well enough not to need a retake. The deadline for retakes is Tuesday. I will be staying after school on Tuesday if students do not want to miss class time to test.
Chapter 6 brings together concepts from chapters 3, 4, and 5. Students need to have knowledge of the layout of the periodic table, the common polyatomic ions, valence, electron dot diagrams (Lewis structures), charges/oxidation numbers, and electron configurations. Students should know the names, formulas, and charges of the polyatomic ions. We will begin using them in chemical formulas in this chapter, and we will use them throughout the rest of the school year.
Chapter 6 practices 1-2 should be completed with five questions each for the binder.
Enjoy the weekend!
Yours for Better Education,
