10-26-08 TEST FRIDAY!!

We’ve got a science test coming up this Friday!!! 

In class, we’ve been studying the metric system including how to find a variety of different measurements (mass, volume, density).  We’ve also worked on how to convert (from kilometers to decimeters for example).  Make sure you know your stuff by Friday!  :)
