7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today in science students completed the second of several insulation labs. They collected their data and then began working on the graphs and data analysis.
Homework: finish graph, comparison of results (data analysis), and conclusion to insulation lab #2
7th Grade Math: Today students continued learning about finding the area and perimeter of squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. Students completed a measurement activity to practice calculating area of different shaped objects in our classroom.
Homework: Finding area of shapes worksheet is due Wednesday at the beginning of class.
8th Grade Math: In math students continued working on the personal finances unit. Today the focus was on deductions taken from a paycheck (federal taxes, health insurance, Social Security, etc.)
Homework: Discuss with parents/guardians how your family pays for health insurance and what that cost is per month. Have parent/guardian sign off on page indicating they talked about topic of health insurance costs and/or other deductions from a paycheck.
