Week of 9/11

This week in science we are continuing with measurements.  We will also revisit the metric system and conversions, as well as scientific processes.

Labor Day Week

A bit later than I had hoped, but this is what we are doing this week:

7th:  Finished up the Scientific Method notes, then move onto the Scientific Measurement Lab.
8th:  Work on the Scientific Measurement Lab.

Week of 8/28

Students have completed 2 station labs so far and taken quite a few notes.  This week we will:

• Continue our Scientific Method Notes - we are learning the process and will discuss how science is part of daily life
• Begin measuring like scientists

Edited:  We are continuing our work on the Scientific Method and will begin measuring (hopefully) next week.

Week of 8/21

Quick overview of events in Science:

Monday:  We wrapped up Science Safety with a homework assignment (due 8/24).
Tues - Fri:  We are starting the Scientific Method with a Lab!  Once we complete the lab, we will have power points and activities to complete.

Week of 8/14

This week we will be discussing safety in science class.  We are starting our first lab on Tuesday (7th) or Wednesday (8th).  We have also set up our notebooks and will begin adding information.

First week reflections

As the first week of school ends I'm struck by how fast time flies!  This week we:

• Had an awesome Champion Day where we were able to create a school wide mural.
• Viewed a million memes in Science to learn about procedures. :D 
• Created skits (some classes)
• Took Science PreTest

Next week we can look forward to:

• Setting up our notebook!  This is super important as students will be essentially creating a textbook with all of their information for class.
• Having our first Lab!  SUPER important to return the PINK safety contract signed on both sides!!!  No contract, no lab. :(

Week of August 7

Welcome back to school!  This week we will be focusing on the following:

• Monday:  Champion Day!
• Tuesday - Friday:  Back to school procedures, learning about science and brief intro on what to expect for this year.  Be on the lookout for a SAFETY Contract for students in Mrs. Hutchings class.  This is very important and requires students (and parents) to read and discuss.

Required Materials for class:

• Students need TWO Composition Notebooks for my class!  Spiral notebooks do not last and we are working on creating our own text book.  Most stores carry them for $0.50.  College rule is preferred, but not required!

Be on the lookout for the following paperwork to come home this week:

• Syllabus
• Safety Contract (this is double sided, both sides MUST be signed!)
