Oct 15 Today in science: We are preparing for our hands-on activity using phase changing materials in preparation for our incubator design ideas. In Math: We started using double number lines as another way to solve ratio problems.
 * Helpful Links for today's lesson.

Oct 14
 * Science: We completed a project criteria summary activity in preparation of our incubator engineering task. Students got logged in to the futurama website and some even got a chance to explore the online simulator. Here is the [|link] to the on-line website.
 * Math: We did several problems that involved comparing ratios using ratio tables. Students had to deliberate over what the ratio was presenting. Here is the [|link]we used as a warm-up today.

Oct 13
 * Science: We began a pilot on a web based science unit from Lawrence Hall in California. It is a phase change engineering unit.
 * [[image:kheveyvt/incubator.jpg align="right"]]Interns (a.k.a. middle school students) will be designing an incubator to keep babies with low birth weight healthy. We will be exploring how phase changes occur and how to graph phase changes. Please look for a letter at home from your "intern" with more details.
