I hope you’ve been practicing your metric conversions! We’ll be reviewing on Monday and getting a study guide to help you practice.
If you still aren’t comfortable with converting, make sure you let me know so I can help you understand!! 
THEN, get ready for our field trip!!! It’s supposed to be sunny and low 50s so make sure you dress appropriately. We’ll be outside the whole day. I can’t wait!!! 
We’ll be finishing the Density Cube Lab tomorrow (Friday). If you don’t finish the graph, analysis questions and conclusion in class, they will be homework over the weekend and DUE MONDAY!
Don’t forget…test Tuesday over the Metric System and Converting! 
I think you all are really starting to get metric conversions! I saw a LOT of right answers today during Metric Mania. 
I hope you’re practicing for your test next TUESDAY!
There’s some simple practice if you click on the Metric Conversion Game link. Good luck!
We’ve been doing a lot of practice with converting numbers using the metric system. I hope you all are starting to get good at it! Our test is not until NEXT Tuesday (the 10th of November) so you still have time to practice. This week we’ll be doing a few labs.
Monday & Tuesday we’ll be tying all the different types of measurements we’ve learned (mass, length, and volume) to observe the difference water can make on a gummy bear.
Wednesday we’ll have Metric Mania Day!! You’ll be practicing more converting…hopefully it’ll be easy for you by then!
Thursday and Friday we’ll be conducting a lab focused on Density. Then, Monday we’ll review for the test and Tuesday we’ll take it. Then we’re off on our field trip on Wednesday!!! Can’t wait! It’s my favorite of the year. 
Just thought you might have fun with this! Click on either of these links to carve your own pumpkin online. As many as you want. have fun! Happy Halloween!!!
Since you don’t have a book to take home, here’s the information you’ll need to finish your flip chart:
Length
- base unit: meter, m
- definition: the measurement of a distance, or how long an object is.
Volume
- base unit: Liter, L
- definition: the amount of space something takes up.
- formula: volume=length x width x height
Mass
- base unit: Gram, g
- definition: how much matter is in an object
Temperature
- base unit: Celsius, *C
- definition: how hot or cold something is
Density
– base unit: Grams per cubic centimeter, g/cm3
- definition: ow much matter is in a given volume
- formula: density= mass/volume
Area
- base unit: square kilometer, km2 OR square meter, m2
- definition: the measure of the surface of an object
- formula: area= length x width
This is the LAST week of the first quarter! That means that you need to make sure that all of your missing assignments are in and you’re caught up on all current work too! Ask ALL of your teachers how you’re doing in class. Check your locker and folders for any work that you may have forgotten to turn in.
This quarter’s grades will be your first report card which your parents will pick up on November 12th. They MUST come to the school in order to receive your report card.
Keep up the good effort!
Sorry guys, but I’m going to be out of the building tomorrow. I’ve got a conference at the Museum of Science and Industry. I hate missing school, but where do you think I come up with all of these cool experiments?!?!
You’ll be reading from the book Thursday, and we’ll review what you learned when I come back. Don’t have too much fun without me. See you Friday!
There’s a test over the Scientific Method in Science class on Tuesday! We’ll be reviewing on Monday, and you’ll be receiving a study guide to take home and review.
I’ll be handing out the study guide on Monday. I’d have posted it on here, but I’m at home and the guide is on my school computer…sorry! 
Have a great weekend and I’ll see you Monday!
P.S. I’m also doing a lot of grading this weekend. I’ll be giving you a mini “progress report” so you will know where you’re at in science class (and Lit. if you’re in my class).
I hope you all are keeping up on the work!
So far in Science this week:
You had your experiment conclusions due TODAY.
Your “Egg in a Bottle” conclusion is due TOMORROW (Wednesday).
In Literature Studies this week:
You were to finish your plot chart TODAY.
Your vocabulary sheet is due TOMORROW (Wednesday).
