Today: Students used data and summary questions to come up with the BIG PICTURE of lab p6.  Submerged Volume = Displaced Volume! Then students took a clicker quiz about submerged volume. Lastly, students used their lab books to complete the problem and procedure sections of their lab report for P7.

Homework:  If you did not turn in your lab P6 report, get it in ASAP! :)

Homework: Finish summary questions for tomorrow!

Today: Students corrected their vocabulary homework at the beginning of class.  Then we prepared for lab P6.  Students recorded the title, problem and procedure in their lab notebooks.  Then they taped in the data table.  Finally, a demonstration of the lab was given for the students.

Homework: None - Maybe complete your Gabriel Fahrenheit report! 

Scientist of the Week: Gabriel Fahrenheit - due Friday 11/16

REMINDER:  The expectation for science is to have homework completed on the date due!  Make sure you are using your planner and utilizing class time given for work appropriately in order to be successful in this department! :)

Be Safe, Have Fun, & See you Monday,

Today: Students reflected on the P5 summary questions at the beginning of class.  Then notes were given on volume, floating, sinking and submerging. Students highlighted the notes as we read through.  Lastly students participated in a small group activity. They are illustrating an aquatic scene with floating, submerged and sunken objects.

Homework: none

Happy 2nd Quarter. 

We all start fresh with a chance to reflect on what we could do better and give effort into improving ourselves. 

 

Today: Students took a 10 question clicker quiz about graphing. The needed a score of 6 or better to pass the quiz.  Remember, if you do not pass a clicker quiz you can always retake it to improve your grade!  After the quiz, we began to read about Lab P5: Sinking Cartons.  We will complete the lab tomorrow.

Homework: None

Scientist of the Week will be assigned Friday!

Have a Great Day!
