September 10th: Friday math due and Salt water lab

September 9th Homework:
 * Math: Friday math do another section of the packet
 * Science: Finish polishing your picture of your observations from the salt. This means going over the drawing with a sharpie and neat writing. If possible take a picture of it and upload it to your website or e-mail the picture to yourself.

Class Work: September 8th Homework:
 * Write in planner that we will be going to the Miller Center mod 7 on Wednesday for orientation to their space, show this note to your parents.
 * Science finish the writing conclusions worksheet, both pages.
 * Math: Weekly math worksheet 1/3 of it and [|X-tra Math]each night..

September 11:


 * Science: Today we completed an open notebook assignment to assess skills in conclusion writing and identifying false conclusions and determining which variables to control.
 * Math: We are still working on word problems solving for part to total ratios. This is tricky work and will take some practice but everyone is progressing well.

September 10:


 * Math Class: Today in class we learned a new "w" method for finding equivalent fractions. We also worked on part to total ratio word problems which can be tricky to solve. Friday Math due tomorrow.
 * Science: Students are getting really good at writing lab reports and conclusions. Ask to see their on-line Salt Water Lab which is due tomorrow.

September 9th:


 * Math class we continued working with ratios and finding equivalent ratios.
 * Science we are polishing our first lab report with assignment guidelines and rubrics.

September 8th


 * Tomorrow (9/9) Synergy Team will go to the Miller Center for an orientation during mod 7.
 * Science Class we continued to practice writing good conclusions. We also learned how to make a graph to support the data. The weblink is [|Create A Graph]
 * A good conclusion states what the problem is, your hypothesis, what you were thinking before the experiment and the results as they relate back to the hypothesis and then a final concluding sentence.
 * Math Class we used our tape diagram method to solve for missing ratios using the [|ThinkingBlocks] Ratio website.
