on Students can use their composition notebooks and their measuring review packet as help on the assessment.
After the assessment students will have time time to write some scientific questions, leading into our “Scientific Method” mini-unit.
Students absent will likely need to take the quiz upon return to class. Please have the previous lessons completed before returning, as much as possible.
on Quiz will be on Tuesday 10/5
Students choose which area they needed help most. They could do either practice on measuring (found in TEAMS under the general channel, not posted as an assignment). There are three documents for measuring, each with video instructions, online practice, and paper practice. One document each for ruler, graduated cylinder, and triple beam balance.
The other option was to go back and play more of the Gizmos Graphing (accessible through Clever, Mrs. Vu’s class). Practice bar graph, line graph, and then reverse the process and practice transferring data from a graph into a data table. Students can try to teach themselves how to do the Gizmos from home, but it’s not very intuitive on how the program works.
We finished the day playing two Gimkits. One on measuring, and one on graphing. The links can be found on TEAMS (general channel, not posted as an assignment).
on Sept 29th – graphing powerpoint and lesson together as a class. Started “Pesky Germs” line graph assignment.
Sept 30th – completed “Pesky Germs”, and graded. Second graphing powerpoint and lesson together as a class. Started “Pizza” bar graph practice.
October 1 – Reviewed “Pizza” bar graph. Spent time on a Gizmos graphing lesson (for practice), and then did about 10 minutes of a Gimkit graphing game.
Makeup work for those absent –
on Three page packet with measuring questions: ruler, graduated cylinder, triple beam balance. This information is a review for the labs we did the last couple weeks. We self-graded these in class and students were to write down explanations/hints about the questions they missed (so they hopefully won’t be missed again.) This packet can be used for help during the unit assessment.
There were a couple questions that were pre-quiz questions about graphing. Students also took notes on this when we graded the packet.
Packet was graded on completion. Students also reflected on if they needed more help measuring, or were doing just fine. Students needing more help will have an opportunity to get it next week.
This assignment was not available for online. If a student has a printer at home they can email me to have it sent directly to them. Otherwise, it will be available on their return to school
on Students learned how to use a triple beam balance, made a data table, then measured 12 objects.
Students absent from class have an assignment in TEAMS where they watch a video on how to measure using the balance, then a couple games/labs where they get to practice. It would be a good idea to make up some actual hands-on time using the balances, the skill between online simulations and real-life doesn’t transfer well.
on Students make a data table and drop objects into graduated cylinders to find their volumes.
In Teams the at-home assignment has been assigned to those missing class. The lesson has students watching a video and then doing an online game/lab where they find the volume of objects.

on Students did two worksheets in class and learned how to measure to an accuracy of 1/100. We also copied down the rules of measuring in our science journals (composition notebooks).
Make-up work has been posted in TEAMS
on Sept. 14th we went through the classroom procedures.
Sept. 15th we played BINGO using the classroom procedures as answers to the game
Sept. 16th we went through the lab safety procedures and signed a contract.
Sept. 17th we took a quiz on the classroom procedures and lab safety information. This was an open note quiz
Make-up work has been assigned to students in TEAMS. There are two assignments:
