Week of 9/10/12 - 9/14/12

HOMEWORK
Monday (9/10): Finish "Water on Coin" lab report
Tuesday (9/11): "Volume of Irregular Solids" lab report in complete sentences
Wednesday (9/12): Begin studying for unit test (See note below)
Thursday (9/13): Complete foldable for unit test
Friday (9/14): Study and finish foldable! 

UNIT TEST
unit test is planned for next Tuesday, Sept. 18.  Students should begin reviewing their class work on observations, inferences, hypotheses, experimental design, variables, and all new material from this week! The best way for students to prepare for their first test is to study all class notes, practice vocabulary words, and review homework assignments and Warm Ups.  Students will complete a foldable (study guide) in class on Thursday.  It will be due next Tuesday and may be used during the test. We will practice all measuring and metric skills during several labs this week, including the Metric Olympics on Friday. Please encourage your student to stop in during lunch or after school to review for the test.  I will be available to provide students with additional help and extra practice on test topics.

Skills and knowledge tested next Tuesday, Sept. 18 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
