The info that I gain from these assessments is so important to me. It gives me a starting point for my instruction. It also gives me data that I can share with parents as we progress through the year. Like many of you, all this info goes into a giant binder. This binder has a tab for each student and most of the materials (such as extra recording sheets and various flash cards) I need to complete assessments.
Lewisite is primarily a vesicant (causing blisters). It secondarily irritates the lungs and is a systemic poison. Upon contact with the skin, it causes large, painful, fluid-filled blisters, especially on the extremities, back, and scrotum.
Magnetite is a mineral that forms in crystalline form in metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks. It is found in at least small quanities almost the world over but is mined mainly in Austria, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States (Arkansas, Franklin, New Jersey, Utah, Vermont).
