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:
- Using the staircase and prefixes to make metric conversions
- Measuring with a ruler in cm and mm
- Reading a graduated cylinder
- Reading a triple beam balance
- Identifying observations (qualitative and quantitative) and inferences
- Writing hypotheses
- Identifying controls, constants, and variables in an experiment
- Understanding mass, volume, temperature, and metric units
