FIRST TEST COMING UP!

Hello! The past two weeks we've been in the new building and enjoying having a regular schedule. It has been great to build more consistency in each of your students' days. Over the last two weeks, we've been focused on the Measurement & Density portion of our first unit.

We've done practice with Metric Measurement Conversions and have done a lab using different tools like balances, spring scales, graduated cylinders, thermometers, rulers, stopwatches, and more to measure mass, weight, volume, time, and temperature.

Students who did not finish their Measurement & Density lab should have it completed and turned in on Tuesday, October 11th.

Next week, we will have a Density Column Lab where students will calculate densities of different liquids and create a density column to see how the layers form in a jar. It'll be a fun, review lab for their unit test on Measurement & Density that will be next Friday.

PLEASE NOTE: Students were assigned Nature of Science & Measurement IXL Assignments on September 21st that are due October 12th. These are 10 point homework assignments. A good amount of students have begun these, but there are also a good portion of students that have not even started. Please check with your student to make sure they complete these. I appreciate your help with this.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Measurement & Density Lab - due Tuesday, October 11th

Nature of Science & Measurement IXL Assignments - due Wednesday, October 12th (SOME STUDENTS HAVE NOT STARTED!)

Measurement & Density Test - Friday, October 14th

After we move on from Nature of Science & Measurement, we'll be starting our Motion Unit the week of October 17th. We'll focus on acceleration, speed, and velocity.

As always, feel free to reach out to me with any questions about your students' grades or coursework. You can email me at curtis_silverwood@conestogavalley.org

Thank you,

Mr. Silverwood
