Agenda Q2 W9 & 10

December 8 until END OF QUARTER

Homework due next week Tuesday 12/16

We will go over this in class.
Due Tuesday: HW assignment on PBS Page 62.
- - - - Don't forget the questions at the bottom and the hypothesis.

Working on a few math standards in this Math/Science Crossover. Calculating and proving the volume of Cubes, cylinders, and Cones as we look at finding the volume of regular and irregular objects. We start with calculations and then move onto a water mess. Measurements will be done with a ruler in cm3 and then proven with water and units of measurement mL.
- - - Complete 1 cube, cylinder and cone volume together
    - Measure with a ruler and calculate with a formula and calculater
    - Check our answers using a graduated cylinder and mL.
    - Convert between mL and cm3.

Explore Gizmos with a similar lab to what we are going to do today. Yes, it is a 5 min free trial
New Gizmos: very quick . An Introduction to Density.
Then we try this in real life! Explore how to use a displacement can. Find the volume of items and write them down in your notebook Page 57.

Finish assignments from earlier this week.
Go over Grocery Lab and talk about densities. Calculate the densities using a computer program online.
Start Density explanation and lab.
- - Intro to Density.
  - Calculate the density of objects.
  - Start PHET density lab.
    - - Go over Mystery PHET density lab 1A. Page 61

Go over homework due next week.
Start Density Block Lab. Only the mass & volume today. Go around to each station and find the mass and volume of each block. We will calculate the density after the lab.

Quiz: given a picture and measurements of a rectangular prism and cylinder, calculate the volume. Formulas and calculators will be provided. Just making sure you can do the calculations (also a math standard).
Fake Ice questions with measuring Page 58. Ice Cube Intro Discussion. Video (teacher access only sorry).
Finish any and all measurement assignments. Talk about the lab practical.
Start Acrylic Lab

Grade Density HW
Counselors come in and chat with us about Naviance. Complete activity with Counselor.

Practice Lab practical with a partner of your choice. A practice will be set up with the same tasks for your FINAL LAB PRACTICAL but you can ask questions, change answers and get help on this one. The final will be VERY close to this practice so use your time wisely. Posted in Q for 2 points: Participate with a friend in the practice test. Any behavior issues (groups wasting time) or low scores will be posted in the comments in Q. Students will be given immediate feedback (with the remotes) on each question and CAN change answers to make sure they understand the process. The questions will be the same for the test, just different numbers/ shapes. The practice is on page 65-66. Teacher or friends can help, answer questions, nothing is considered cheating on this practice. The actual test will be quiet.

Your Unit FINAL like no other. You will go from station to station to accomplish 9 stations each with a measuring task from our measurement unit. Equipment like rulers, triple beam balances, electronic balances, graduated cylinder, displacement cans will be tested. Calculators and formulas will be provided. INDIVIDUAL - no talking. Prove what you have learned over the last month.

Next unit: Microscopes and Eyes (my favorite) when we return from break.
