Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend so you are energized and ready to get back to work!
Today in class you began work on the Metrics project that will continue throughout the week. Last Thursday, you were given an information sheet that described the project and what would be expected of you each day. Use this sheet as your guide to get through the week. Today you set up your portfolio and decided what product you are going to create. Tomorrow you will build your box, so brush up on those volume formulas.
As always, you should review your Metrics flash cards for at least 15 minutes each night.
Each lab group constructed a bar graph and a pie graph from data generated in class. Each student should have picked up a Metrics problem worksheet. If you did not complete it in class, complete it for homework. Review the project letter that was given to you on Thursday so you will know what is expected of you in class next week.
I will see you on Monday. Have a great weekend!
Discussed how to construct a bar graph and pie graph. Tomorrow's lab will be on graphing. Each student was given an information letter about next week's metric project. We went over the letter in class. The project begins on Monday and is only worked on in class with the lab group.
I will be out of the classroom on Friday (8/24/07). Students should not come in early for help. I will be back in the classroom on Monday.
Completed Metrics flash cards. Went over all homework. Reminder: It is a requirement of this class that you review your flash cards at least 15 minutes each night. Pop quizzes are a possibility in 8th grade Science.
The safety symbol quiz was today. We discussed temeprature formulas. We began making the Metrics flash cards in class. First period was to complete these at home. All other periods will complete them in class on Wednesday. Reminder: It is a requirement for this class that you spend at least 15 minutes each night studying your flash cards. Pop quizzes are always a possibility in this class.
We did a metric conversion lab today. If you missed the lab, you must find a recipe on your own. Convert the standard measurements into metrics. There will be a safety symbol quiz on Tuesday.
The students completed their first lab today. Well done, Troops! If you were absent, the make-up topic for the lab is the metric system. Your safety symbol quiz will be on Tuesday. You will have a metric conversion lab on Monday, so get those conversion factors memorized.
Have a great weekend. Thanks for a wonderful start to the 2007 - 2008 school year!
