Class A – before lunch
What we did in class today: We pre-tested the physics unit. We continued our studies of inertia. We introduced and started brainstorming our unit roller coaster project.
What to do if you missed class today: Copy the notes of a classmate. Ask questions from your small group or Mr. Jamsa if you need clarification. You will need the material for the final project.
Class B – after lunch
What we did in class today: We started the shoe sole friction experiment after learning about friction.
What to do if you missed class today: We will finish it on Monday. You can join with your team and have them catch you up on Monday.

Class A – before lunch
What we did in class today: We learned how to convert within the SI system of measurement and between the SI system and the metric system using CONVERSION factors.
What to do if you missed class: When we do warmups or other activities related to conversion factors, ask the help of a classmate and have them show you. It is not difficult. You can also ask Mr. Jamsa after school some day.
Class B – after lunch
What we did in class today: We studied the concept of inertia with notes and a class activity.
What to do if you missed class today: Copy the notes of a classmate. Ask questions of your small roller coaster group and/or ask questions of Mr. Jamsa if you have questions.

Class A – before lunch
What we did in class today: We are continuing our work on the Titanic Lab.
What to do if you missed class: You cannot make up this lab outside of class. Join your group when you return. You have three opportunities to show your knowledge of the three big science skills – What Did I do? What Happened? What did I learn? If you miss this opportunity, you will still have two other chances to show your knowledge.
