Friday, November 2nd

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.

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

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.
