Science 7
Today was the final day for the measurement lab. All students know that if they still need to complete the lab, they need to come in on their own time to finish (i.e. study hall, before or after school, etc.) Groups discussed the question, does air have mass? They were given a few "tools" to demonstrate their answer. Each group had to problem solve, work together and use discovery learning in order to succeed. These groups then presented their findings to the class.
We began section 1.2 today (Chapter 1, section 2). The homework was to complete the reading and answer the Key Concept and Key Terms on page 10. The questions/terms need to be written in and answered in their notebook. REMEMBER...Bring your notebook to class tomorrow - no passes out to get them(hint, hint)!
Literature 8
We finished up "Dialect" today and discussed "Dialogue". A short writing assignment was given...most students finished during class.
Science 8
Discussed Career X-word assignment. A vocabulary list was provided to help those still "searching" for the correct answers. A second, more student friendly, career matching assignment is due on Wednesday. We are preparing for our first test on Friday!
