7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today the 11:00 science class (my homeroom) worked on a follow up extension to the lab completed in class last Wednesday. In this lab students worked to answer the question what is the best slope of a ramp to make a marble roll the farthest. Students worked through a two hour block period on finishing the lab, collecting and organizing their data, and then they began working on their reports.
Homework: 11 o'clock science class must finish their lab write up for the marble rolling lab and turn it in at the start of class tomorrow.
REMEMBER to include the following:
Purpose: (Question the lab was focusing on)
Materials: (what supplies were used)
Procedures: (What steps did students follow)
Results: (Table and Graph of their data)
Conclusions: (answer to the question and how these results can be applied to other situations)

7th Grade Math: Today in math 7th graders began studying the difference between experimental probability and theoretical probability.
Homework: Finish the spinner game problems A-D and the follow up questions for this activity (due tomorrow at the start of class)

8th Grade Math: In math class 8th graders graders continued learning about probability. Students applied probability to a dice rolling game using three dice.
Homework: finish making a histogram graph for the dice rolling activity that we completed at the end of class today.
