7th/8th Grade Science: Today students graphed the average yearly price of various metals from 2002 to 2007.  We then drew a "line of best fit" to extrapolate the data and make forecasts for the price of the minerals in 2012.    Finally students converted the price per "troy ounce" of the metals to price per gram by applying the conversion factor of 1 Troy Ounce = 31.1 grams. 
Homework:
Finish activity (graph and table) that was worked on in class today!
