11-25, 11-26, and 12-2 No Science

No science these days.  Only math.

11-22-2013 Math and Science together, oh my!

Then we will do a little math to prepare for our next lab investigation.  Click here for your assignment

11-21-2013 Using a graduated cylinder

Today we will learn more about how to use a graduated cylinder.

Read this webpage to find out more about graduated cylinders.

Then click here for practice problems.  Write your answers in your journal.

When you are finished, work on your vocabulary from yesterday.

When you are finished, work on your Scratch commercial for your board game.  Here are the directions.

11-20-2013 Vocabulary using Google Search!

Take out your science journal and turn to a new page  OR create a Google Doc.

Please use Google Search (click here) to look up the meanings and definitions of the words below. Then use in a sentence that you make up to show me that you know what the word means!

Expand (we might have already done this one)
Contract (as in the opposite of expand)
Mass
Volume
Weight
Density
Temperature
Heat
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Research the difference between mass and weight!
What is the difference between conduction, convection, and radiation?  Research it!

Early finishers (for the last 20 minutes when the sub says you can play):  Work on Scratch or play one of the games below.

11-13-2013 Quiz Tomorrow!

Let's check out data from yesterday and calculate the density.

Also, we have a quiz tomorrow on Density!  Let's review!

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

11-12-2013 How Do You Find The Density Of Irregular Objects?

Today we do into the lab!

Quiz Tomorrow or Thursday!

1.  We know how to find the volume of a cube, but what about irregular objects like spheres or rocks?

What can we do?

2.  Will the density change if we use more than one of the same type of rock?

11-8-2013 Will it sink or float?

Today we will find the density of cubes then predict if they will sink or float.

11-6-2013 & 11-7-2013 Will It Sink Or Float?

Today we want to further our investigation into density by finding the density of water.

Then we will decide if the blocks we measured will sink or float as well as some of the other blocks.

How do you think we can find the density of water?

Go to your assignment here.

Finish #10.

Today we will do #11.  Read it and begin thinking about your ideas and solutions to the challenge.

11-5-2013 Density of Water

Today we want to further our investigation into density by finding the density of water.

How do you think we can find the density of water?

Go to your assignment here.

Finish #10.

Today we will do #11.  Read it and begin thinking about your ideas and solutions to the challenge.

11-1-2013 Calculating Density

It's Mass/Volume!

Go here for the assignment.  We are on #9.
