We're done with the properties part now, and will be going onto physical and chemical changes!
Monday - We finished pg 11 in their notebooks and talked some of the more "different" physical properties like; malleability, ductility, solubility, the phases of matter, mass, weight, & density, etc.
Tuesday - The day for the much anticipated cornstarch lab. Good times. Hopefully your student had a good time getting a little messy and learning about a very interesting substance with some pretty cool properties at the same time.
Wednesday - R&S Quiz on physical and chemical properties. Actually they only took the quiz for the last few minutes of class. Most of the class we played a review game involving bean bags, four square, and hot potato... it got a little crazy, but it seemed to work since most kids passed the test!
Thursday - Finish matter vocab pg 10. We'll get in a quick review of atoms and how they work before we get into physical and chemical changes so that when we talk about H2O they remember what we're talking about. Funny how they forget things like that. Do you remember when you learned what H2O was? I don't... it's one of those things that it seems like you've always known, but there must be some point where you learn it, right? Maybe it was 8th grade science.
Friday - NOOOOO SCHOOOOOL!!! Since it's student led conference week, you can thank your teachers for wanting a teacher comp day at the end of the week. Enjoy your time off!
