Welcome to the LHS Earth Science Blogs where you have the opportunity to share your learning experiences in your very own blog. In addition to our content area goals we expect the blogs to support and reinforce overall development in reading, writing and mathematics by encouraging students to incorporate and coordinate their personal learning goals while writhing about their experiences.

Obtaining your blog is as simple as registering, after submitting your media release form,  but please be reminded that this service is afforded to LHS students for academic purposes only. There are appropriate venues for other interests but this just isn't one of them. Adhering to the following guidelines will ensure that we can continue to provide these blogs to students throughout the year:

1. No offensive language: Includes but not limited to profanity, racial or culturally insensitive terms.
2. No inappropriate content or links to similar: Includes but not limited to adult content, racially or culturally insensitive material, etc.
3. No derogatory comments about teachers, administrators, counselors, local or national political figures will be tolerated. (there are appropriate forums for your valid issues, but this is not one of them)
4. Do not identify yourself personally without a verified media release from on file: Select a user name that will not divulge your personal identity, do not publicize your name, email address or mailing address on this web site in any fashion.
5. Do not identify other students personally without their express permission and a verified media release for them on file. If you must reference another student in your post (common research or project) please use their forum user name.
6. Do not use an images of other students in your avatar image, or in your posts, unless you have their express permission and a verified media release form on file.
7. Derogatory or personal references to other students will not be tolerated. Flagrant, or repeated, violations will result in the suspension of the users account.
8. No spamming: promotional posts and promotional links will be deleted and the user account disabled.
9. No links to social networks: do not link to your myspace, facebook, etc. pages.
10. Evaluate the content of any linked site: Your appropriate links are welcome and appreciated but please take the time to ensure that the site you are referencing does not link to questionable or offensive material from it's pages.
11. You must have a verified media release on file to participate in the blooging platform. Please remind Mr. Mason to change your user status when submitting your media release form.

Hopefully you've found this helpful and as with everything else, please let me know if you feel these guidelines need to be amended or are being abused.

Welcome to the LHS Blogs - Guidelines Sep 10 2010 00:56:54 how do you do this homework

Re: Welcome to the LHS Blogs - Guidelines Sep 10 2010 10:08:31 Sorry to be getting this in the AM but in a nutshell: Density = mass divided by volume. So with the water: Mass of the water and graduate minus the mass of the graduate equals the mass of the water and the volume equals 40mL. (Mass of the water and graduate minus the mass of the graduate)g/40mL=?g/mL With the rock: Mass equals whatever reading you had on the balance and the volume equals the amount of water displaced when you submerged it (how much did the water go up?). (Your reading on the balance)g/(How much the water went up)mL = ?g/mL
