Dateline Manheim Township H.S. On January 26th in room 019, beginning at 9:41 ante meridiem, Christopher Manning, a science teacher, had his third period class complete a variety of activities over the course of 48 minutes. The class began with a few short announcements including that the r ecent grades posted might not be complete if your T.P.J. was not done until Thursday of the last class week or today. The second announcement, also on T.P.J.’s, had to do with the new order of T.P.J.’s which was passed around and posted below the grades on the cabinet. Following that Mid-Term grades were posted and any questions that were up in the air were answered. Manning also told the students that if they would like to see their Mid-term that they would have to come after school to review them. After the series of announcements Manning started a new unit for the class which is titled ‘Work and Energy’. With the start of a new unit, Manning distributed a reading guide, title page, and a notes packet. In addition to telling students they can clear their notebooks of all semester one notes, Manning reminded them that although the final is not cumulative it does require semester 1 knowledge so it would be wise to keep them. After that students started with a warm up set of questions where they had to differentiate between ‘everyday work’ and ‘scientific work’. The set of eight questions was followed by a set of three questions that were in relation to work being done versus not being done. After that a final set of questions was presented on positive and negative work being done, which were all done on a half sheet given out at the beginning of class. After Manning went over that, he had the class read the notes on pages 2, 3, and 4 to better understand work and power while reviewing it with a partner. After that each individual was to fill in the blanks on pages 4 and 5 on their own, which was gone over by the class with Manning. To conclude the class Manning asked a series of questions on various unit topics to end the day.
