ATOMS & THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS
This week we are starting a new unit on atoms and the periodic table of elements. We will begin our week studying the structure of the atom and the arrangement of electrons. Students will also participate in a spectroscopy lab. We will practice describing and determining atomic number and atomic mass.

UNIT TEST
We are finishing our unit on Scientific Investigation this week, and students will take the unit test on Thursday, September 15. The best way for students to prepare for their first test is to study all class notes, practice vocabulary words, and review homework assignments. Students will complete a foldable (study guide) in class on Monday. It will be due on Thursday and may be used during the test. We will practice all measuring and metric skills during the Metric Olympics in class on Tuesday. Please encourage your student to stop in during lunch or after school on Wednesday to review for the test. I will be there to provide students with additional help and extra practice on test topics.
Skills and knowledge tested on Thursday will include:

Week of 9/6/11 - 9/9/11
It was great meeting parents and families at Back to School Night last Wednesday! It certainly was a busy week, and I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!
This week we will be reviewing our skills using the metric system and measuring. Students who have not turned in their signed Safety Contract by Wednesday will not be able to participate in the measuring activities later this week. Parents - be sure to check the Parent Internet Viewer to make sure your student has turned in all required paperwork from the beginning of the year. Students - if you need an extra copy of any of the handouts, please ask after class!
HOMEWORK
Tuesday (9/6): Metric Mania Conversion Challenge
Wednesday (9/7): Finish "Water on Coin" lab report
Thursday (9/8): Volume Lab Report (Conclusions answered in complete sentences)
Friday (9/9): Begin studying! (See note below)
*A unit test is planned for next Thursday, Sept. 15. Students should begin reviewing their class work on observations, inferences, hypotheses, experimental design, variables, and all new material from this week! More information will be given in class this week and early next week.
