7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today in science students learned how to compare the insulation values of two different substances that they had collected data on in a lab last week. They then graphed their results, completed mathematical calculations to compare substances, and wrote a conclusion to the insulation lab.
Homework: finish graph, comparison of results, and conclusion to insulation lab #1

7th Grade Math: Today students were introduced to the "Cabin Building Project". In this project students will learn and apply skills in area/perimeter, rates, scale, and calculations with money.
Homework: Finding area of shapes worksheet is due Wednesday at the beginning of class.

8th Grade Math: In math students were introduced to the "Personal Finances" unit that we will be working on periodically throughout the next two months. Students looked at salaries of various job categories and educational backgrounds.
Homework: Discuss with parents/guardians their field of employment and their educational background. Have parents sign/initial paper to confirm that they discussed this topic with student (No information that families feel uncomfortable sharing needs to be written on the homework, just a signature that student took time to have discussion with parents/guardian).
