Student will reinforce the dimensional analysis process by practicing on using converting factors that are based on the SI base units. Moreover, students will learn how to use the scientific notation approach to convert numbers that can be expressed or written as a … Continue reading →

Students will practice on reading various lab equipment and understand how these tools are calibrated. Furthermore, students will use these read metric values to convert them to other units in the metric system as a reinforcement of our classwork for … Continue reading →

Students will determine the density of  a regular and an irregular small objects. They will proceed based upon our method of practice in class of determining the mass of the object as well as its volume ( regular: LXWXH; irregular: water … Continue reading →

Students will learn and reinforce units and measurements that include time, length, mass, volume, and kinds of temperature. Furthermore, students will engage in understanding how certain derived units are reached such as Kelvin temperature and density.

Students are to complete pages 16-18 in their Science Notebook as a preparation for their activity on calculating density of small objects. Students will practice on six different small objects to determine the mass and the volume of each object, and then derive … Continue reading →

Students are to complete the review questions in Chapter 1 that were assigned in class, namely, pages 26-27, #’s: 25, 34, 40, 41, 43, 49,  55, and 56.  These will be promptly answered and discussed in class upon the students return tomorrow.

Each student is expected to have completed and ready to turn in the lab report write-up on the paper towel activity, using the common steps of the scientific method. We will discuss students’ data, the analyses of their data, and verify their conclusions that should reflect … Continue reading →

 Students will investigate four different types of paper towels to determine which paper towel is the most absorbent. They will use the standard classroom paper towel as their control. In a group of three, the students will state their objective, … Continue reading →

Homework: We will discuss the assigned graph that is based upon the ozone layer, and how the temperature changes affect it over a 12-month period by analyzing and correcting the critical thinking questions that are based on the graph. Students will then team up … Continue reading →
