10-31-2013 Let's Calculate Density!

Take out your science journal.  

See assignment here.

10-30-2013 Let's calculate density

Coming up soon!  Quiz on Density!  Oh my.  Start studying!

For the quiz, you will need to know:
1.  how to calculate volume of a rectangular prism.
2.  the difference between 1D, 2D and 3D objects.
3.  how to define volume, mass, and density.  (what do these words mean?)
4.  which tools do we use to measure volume and to measure mass.
5.  which units do we use for volume, mass, and density
6.  how to calculate density
7.  the difference between atoms and molecules

Afternoon core:  Find the mass using triple balance beams!

Yesterday, we defined density to be "how spread out" or how close together" the atoms/molecules are in an object.

We also can say density is when we compare the mass (amount of atoms) to the volume (size/space the object takes up).

Today we will calculate density.  Click here for the assignment.

10-29-2013 What is Density?

1.  Please turn in your water molecule notes here.  Scroll to the bottom of the page for the Turn In Form.

-Find your water molecule notes in your science folder in your Google Drive.  (If it is not in your Science Folder, put it in there.  Open the Doc, click file, then Move to Folder.

-Open it, click share, and copy the URL.  Paste the URL into the form at the link above.

2.  Let's finish our investigation of Density by learning how to calculate density!  Click here for the assignment.

10-24-2013 Density Continued

Let's continue our investigation of Density. Click here for the activity.

10-23-2013 Density!

One word that keeps coming up in our discussions about water and heat is density.

Today, let's do an activity to make sure we are all on the same page when it comes to density.

Click here for the activity.

10-22-2013 Rulers Rule!

Let's finish our What's the Measure worksheet today.

Next
We've been talking about how temperature affects the properties of water.  A word that keeps coming up is density.  Today, let's do an activity to make sure we are all on the same page when it comes to density!  Click here for the assignment.

10-21-2013 Ruler Investigation

Go back to your old seats then we'll get computers.

Take out your What's The Measure worksheet.

Today we will continue our investigation of rulers.

If time, we will start our investigation into Density.  Click here for the activity.

10-18-2013 Rulers Rule!

Today we will learn how to use a ruler correctly.  We will investigate misconceptions people have about measuring.

10-17-2013 Lab debrief

Yesterday, we observed food coloring in hot and cold water.

Today, let's debrief!

10-16-2013 Lab Today!

Today, let's find out if temperature will affect the speed of water molecules.  Click here for your assignment.

10-15-2013 What's heat got to do with it?

In your journal:  Make a claim!  Click here for your assignment.

10-14-2013 Debrief Ups & Downs of Thermometers

Last week, we made a claim about thermometers and how they worked.  Then we observed thermometers in the lab.

Today, I'd like to hear your ideas and see if anyone revised their claim.  What do we think now?  Let's debrief.

Next, we will design an experiment to see what effects temperature has on water.  Click here for the assignment.

10-11-2013 Revisit Your Claim!

Yesterday, we learned the proper way to read a thermometer.

As we made our observations, I hope you kept in mind your claim about why the liquid in thermometers goes up when it is in hot water and down in cold.

I want you to be thinking about WHY this happens.  Hint, hint, it has something to do with atoms and molecules.

Today, I want for you to Revisit Your Claim.  Click here for the assignment.  Fill in the Form at the bottom of the page.  Don't forget to click submit.

Early finishers:  I want you to watch 2- 3 Scratch Video Tutorials.  Click here for my YouTube channel.

After you finish watching them, work on your Scratch 10 Blocks assignment.  Click here for the assignment.

If you are finished with 10 Blocks, work on Scratch About Me.  Click here for the assignment.

10-10-2013 Science Lab Today!

Go to assignment here.

Journals out!

Make a claim, then we will go to the science lab and check out thermometers.

You will need one Netbook per team.
