Almost 2 months since school started!\u00a0 With Halloween creeping up we have a lot of fun things planned for our students!!<\/p>\n
Monday and Tuesday we finished an article about the states\/phases of matter in our guided reading groups.\u00a0 Students did very well with this considering it was our first time doing reading groups in our science class.\u00a0 I was very pleased with the outcome of our students.\u00a0 Wednesday we started our lab which continued until the rest of the week.\u00a0 With the lab there were 6 different stations that had the students experiment and observe the properties of water such as solubility, surface tension, cohesion, density, and capillary action.\u00a0 During the lab students took notes on their quantitative and qualitative observations.\u00a0 We talked about how quantitative observations were the measurement of things or how many of something there was.\u00a0 Quantitative reasoning always includes a number representing quantity.\u00a0 Qualitative observations is a description of characteristics; how something looks.<\/p>\n
Friday is our third bellwork quiz of the year but our first one for this unit (Matter and Its Interactions Bellwork Quiz 1).\u00a0 Students are told to study bellwork #1-8.\u00a0 Bellwork quiz will consists of 12 multiple choice questions.<\/p>\n
