8/31 B day

The students started off the day with a review of how to create graphs. They learned what it means to extrapolate and interpolate data. We then took notes on density and how to calculate it. The powerpoint is in the file cabinet. The students were notified that their test is on Friday and they were given their study guide today to begin reviewing. Come to class on Thursday prepared to ask questions! If you are struggling with dimensional analysis please come after school for extra help

8/30 A day

Today the students completed a worksheet on graphs (Graphing WS-and handed in). We also went over the sheet that was assigned for homework (more difficult). We then moved on to the notes on density (also in file cabinet) and then the students began reviewing for their test on Wednesday. Study hard and come in for extra help if needed.

8/26 B day

The students took their 2nd vocab quiz. Don't forget about studying on quizlet! We then talked about indirect measurements and the students practice by determining the height of some flag poles outside. We then jumped into the section on graphing. HW- finish graphing worksheet. Warning- test will most likely be next Thursday

8/25 A day

The students took a vocab quiz today and then we did a lab on measurement. They need to finish the lab for HW as well as the worksheets (in file cabinet) handed on at the end of class.

8/24 B day

The students copied down vocab words for the week (refer to 8/23 post). We then reviewed conversion factors before jumping into the measurement lab. If they did not finish they need to work on it for homework.

8/23 A day

The students copied down their new vocab words for the week:
1. scientific notation
2. precision
3. accuracy
4. direct proportion
5. inverse proportion
6. mass
7. volume
8. length
9. slope
10. density

We then took notes on measurement and did some practice problems with dimensional analysis. Many students struggled with DA - please practice at home and we will spend a little more time in class. Don't give up!

8/20 B day

Today the students did a mini lab on accuracy and precision. They also were given notes on measurement (see file cabinet). Their homework was to read p14-18

8/19 B day

The students took their first vocab quiz and then took notes on Accuracy, Precision, & % Error (powerpoint in file cabinet) They then worked on some practice problems in class (two worksheets in file cabinet)

8/18 A day

The students took their first vocabulary quiz and then we finished working on the practice work for scientific notation and accuracy & precision. Some students may need more practice at home (practice problems can be found in the book). We also did a mini-lab on Accuracy and Precision in class.

8/17 B day

Today the students were given 10 vocab words to study for their vocab quiz on Thursday. We then finished notes from last week (posted to file cabinet) and started an activity on designing experiments. The "apple a day keeps the doctor away" HW assignment is also posted on the file cabinet. Study for your vocab quiz on Thursday!

8/16 A day

The students were given 10 vocab terms for a quiz on Wednesday. We then moved on to notes on precision, accuracy,% error, and scientific notation (powerpoint in file cabinet). They did practice work in class (2 worksheets found in file cabinet) and will be doing a lab on Wednesday. Bring a textbook and calculator to class every day.

8/13 A day

1. Finished notes on science (posted to file cabinet)
2. "An apple a day activity" done in class to prepare for HW (posted to file cabinet)
3. Observation game

Those students that failed science last year need to attend AA on Monday

8/12

B day
The students did the same as 8/11 A day. 
Textbooks distributed,
textbook survey
Started notes on science

8/11

Today students handed in their course policies and safety contract page. (safety contract was distrubuted today for 1A- hand in by Friday please) Textbooks were distributed and a survey was done of the book. For those that did not finish this is homework. We then jumped into the first lesson on science. (1A did not finish, more to come on Friday)

First day 3A

We had more time in 3A today so we were able to get further into the lesson.  We talked about safety and handed out the safety contract - this needs to be signed by student and parent and handed in this week.  We also started a group discussion about science and what it is.  We will continue Wednesday.

First Day!

Today we went over the course syllabus and some classroom procedures. They also took a pre-test to assess their math and measurement skills. Parents, please fill out and sign the class policies page. It is due this week for a grade.
