Testing Vinegar - An Acid

In Science today we combined vinegar and baking soda in a reaction bottle to measure the amount of carbon dioxide produced.  We will work with other acids next week.
In Math today we discussed the appropriate type of graph to use in different situations.  Your assignment is a long term one.  By next Friday you need […]

Measures of Central Tendency

Explain that title to your parents and receive extra coupons tomorrow!
In Science today we wrapped up Investigation 2 - our work with sugar.  Remember to complete your What I learned, what I think, what I wonder…. section of your notebook.  You also had two things to do at home tonight:  1) look at Nutrition Fact […]

Testing Foods

You brought in a variety of foods to test for sugar today in Science.  Tomorrow we’ll analyze the results.
In Math we worked with “what mean means” (I couldn’t resist!).  Your assignment was MA8 p. 104-105 #6-16 and the whole spiral review.
In Reading we listened to the first part of the novella The Gold Cadillac.
Fixing papers […]

Food Testing

In Science tomorrow we will be testing any foods you bring in (remember we only need 3 grams to test and that’s not much!).  Today we gathered data and wrote the conclusion for SC2b.
In Math you took the MA7 mid-chapter 2 quiz on p. 101.  Your only homework is to fix any papers you can.
In […]

Testing for Sugar

In Science today we tested two cereals per group to measure the amount of carbon dioxide the yeast produced as it metabolized the sugar in the cereal.  Tomorrow we will analyze the results.
In Math today you worked with line plots.  Your assignment was MA6 p. 98-100 #5-18 and the WHOLE spiral review.
In Reading we answered […]

Investigating Cereal

In Science today we set up the plan to do Investigation 2 - part b.  On Monday we will be testing the cereal you brought in.  Later next week you are going to be able to bring a food to test for sugar.  Be thinking about a food that you could bring.
In Math we worked […]

Yeast as an Indicator

In Science today we analyzed our data and wrote a conclusion for what we are certain of and why for Investigation 2 part a.  Remember to bring about 1/2 cup of your favorite cereal in a baggy for an investigation on Monday.  (If you bring it in early we’ll store them in our room.)
In Math […]

Metabolism

Explain to your parents what yeast gave off when it metabolized food (a cookie).  That was our investigation in science today.
In Math we worked with two types of graphs - bar graphs and line graphs.  What is a bar graph best for doing?  a line graph?  Explain those to your parents and receive more coupons!  […]

Investigation 2a tomorrow

In Science we went through the procedure and wrote the plan for Investigation 2 part a.  Tomorrow we will do the actual investigation:  testing the difference between two bags filled with yeast and warm water - with food (cookie) added to one of the bags - after 10 minutes.  Followed by some other tests.
In Math […]

Digestive System

Tell your parents what you learned about the digestive system today - the five main organs and their jobs.  You made notes about them in your Science notebook.
In Math you need to get your point chart signed - we’ve finished chapter one.  We began chapter two.  You did the pretest on p. 77 and have […]
