Viscosity, Density, Temperature & More!

Last week in MATH we:

• Worked on Determining Probability Using Fractions (11.3)
• Have you recorded your KEY TERMS from this unit in your math notebook? (Found on Page 407)
• Did a Unit Review:  Pages 436-437 #1-6, 9, 12, & 15*
• Wrote a Probability Assessment
• Continued work with fractions:  Multiplying a Whole Number By a Fraction (6.1)

Coming up in Math

• Fractions:  Key Terms (page 195) & Dividing a Fraction by a Whole Number
• Linear Equations (Algebra) SO FUN!!

Last week in SCIENCE we:

• Did our Viscosity Ramp Experiment.  
• Which Substance was the MOST viscous?  
• Which Substance was the LEAST viscous?  
• What do viscous and viscosity mean anyway?
• What did heat do to the viscosity? 
• How would you change our experiment for next time?
• Completed guided notes on Viscosity and the Effects of Temperature (3.1)
• Did an activity about density using CONSTANT VOLUME BLOCKS.
• What did you notice?
• Did you do your calculations correctly?
• What is density anyway?
• Completed guided notes on Density of Fluids (3.2)
• Completed practice calculations about Density.
• Worked on guided notes about Density, Temperature, and Buoyancy (3.3)
• Did a Visual Journal entry on the Particle Model of Matter.
• Talked about the Compression of Fluids.  Some of you started 3.4 guided notes.

Other Stuff

• We've done a lot of work together so far.  If you have questions Please Ask!😊
• Respect the space.  Respect the textbooks. Respect the supplies.

Probability & Particle Models.....

Last week in Math we:

• Worked on Probability.
• We did a pre-assessment.
• Did a Get Ready assignment about Probability to review concepts from grade 7.
• Worked on figuring out probabilities using tree diagrams,  tables, and spiders (11.1)
• Continued to keep our warm up duotangs complete and in order.  Remember if you miss a day the extras are in the binder by the textbooks.

Coming Up in Math:

• Back to Fractions!  Yay!  Multiplying a whole number by a fraction.
