  1. Back to School Night 2004 TechLab Mr. Lewis

  2. Welcome to the TechLab The staff at Beardsley Junior High School is proud to offer students access to a modern technology lab.  The facility offers students opportunities to work in modular educational settings in which they can apply the principles of science and technology to gain a better understanding of today's highly technical world.

  3. A Typical Day A typical day in the lab consists of 20 minutes of reading and note taking of modular content. After the students are finished taking notes, they complete the period by performing activities, such as rocket building, small engine studies, audio/visual exercises, bridge building, and more.

  4. Study Hints To help your child prepare for testing that occurs every 5thday, you must make certain that he or she is taking his or her notes home for review. You should also quiz your child to check for understanding. I allow all students to use notes during tests, so having good notes and understanding them helps ensure good test scores.

  5. Web Resources I have prepared a Web resource for the lab that provides information about each module and the California State Standards (English and Math) that the modules support (see http://www.beardsley.k12.ca.us/bjhs/industrialtech.htm).In addition, a chart is available at http://www.paxtonpatterson.com/images/PDF/Standards/Standards_Correlation_PAL.pdf that indicates correlations to National Technology Standards.

  6. Standards Correlations I have prepared a Web resource for the lab that provides information about each module and the California State Standards (English and Math) that the modules support (see http://www.beardsley.k12.ca.us/bjhs/industrialtech.htm).In addition, a chart is available at http://www.paxtonpatterson.com/images/PDF/Standards/Standards_Correlation_PAL.pdf that indicates correlations to National Technology Standards.

  7. Homework: Current Event A current event is due each Friday. The assignment includes reading an article that deals with science and/or technology, writing a two-paragraph summary, and indicating the title of the article as well as its source. Each paragraph must have at least 7 sentences in order to receive full credit. The assignment is given as homework.

  8. Student Success Student success is a two-way street between home and school. Please help your child succeed by studying with him or her daily. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them. I can be reached by email at learnwithern@hotmail.com or by phone at 661-392-9254, extension 311.
