Wednesday January 20th
7th & 8th Grade General Science: In science students were introduced to the concept of chemical bonding. Students were given an element with an oxidation number on the tag, either positive or negative, and students were instructed to find the opposite of their sign in order to form a compound. Students were given a worksheet to fill in during the class activity, and after forming a list of compounds, students went back to their seats and figured out the formulas for each compound they formed during the activity. We will revisit this activity next Monday.Homework: None
7th Grade Math: Today students began class with their FlashMasters. Afterwards, students were introduced to section 4.6 in the book dealing with mixed numbers and improper fractions, and how to convert between the two. After a bit of instruction, students were set free to complete the section 4.6 worksheet with the remaining class time.
Homework: None, unless they did not finish the section 4.6 worksheet in class. It is due on Monday.
8th Grade Math: Today 8th graders began class with a quick flashmasters activity. Next, students were given about 12 minutes to finish up the section 4.5 worksheet from yesterday, before being introduced to section 4.6, Negative and zero exponents. After a bit of instruction, and a few examples, students were set free to complete the sectio 4.6 worksheet in class to avoid any homework over the weekend. See you up on the hill the next two days!!
Homework: None, unless they did not finish the section 4.6 worksheet in class. It is due on Monday.
