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. 
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! 
We should be starting our experiments tomorrow. Make sure you bring everything you need from home and I’ll have the supplies you’ve asked me for waiting for you.
Tomorrow we will be starting our experiments! Make sure you bring all the materials that you need from home. If there are things you want me to provide, I need to have a list BY TODAY so that I can have them ready for you.
I can’t wait to watch the experiments in action! 
I hope you’re all excited to be designing your own experiment this week! You should have a purpose question already chosen. Here’s the schedule for next week:
Monday – Research information for your experiment
Tuesday – Type up the experiment procedure STEP-BY-STEP
Wednesday – Conduct experiment
Thursday – Analyze Data and Draw Conclusions
* We may move this to Tuesday if more time is needed for the experiments
Friday – NO SCHOOL
Monday – NO SCHOOL
I can’t wait to see the results you all come up with!
I hope you all were happy with your Progress Reports! Don’t forget: they go home on THURSDAY and should be signed by a parent and returned to your excel teacher on FRIDAY!
SCIENCE – Just a reminder: we had homework tonight! You were supposed to draw AND describe a day in the life of you as a scientist (with a science career). Don’t forget to color!
LIT STUDIES – You have a setting postcard to finish! It should be colored AND there should be a letter from your character on the back describing what the setting is like. It’s due tomorrow!
I wish I could share ALL the possible science jobs out there for you! There’s SO many of them! We’re going to keep looking at a few new ones next week. After that, we’re going to start learning the Scientific Method. That should be a lot of fun since in order to learn it, we’ve got to DO it, which means…lots of labs!!!
