Sept 20-27: Physical & Chemical Properties

This week we will be looking at the physical and chemical properties of some common substances. We'll review some stuff from 7th grade about matter (p10) - then jump into physical and chemical properties and changes notes (p11). Then we'll do a fun activity with candy, and something with cornstarch, some easy chemical reactions.

On Wednesday, we'll have our first rise and stretch activity day. If your students didn't pass the 3 quizzes given in science, history, and English, with a 75% or higher, then they will be retaught and re-quizzed during Rise on Wednesday. If they passed all three classes, they will get the opportunity to go to a stretch activity... I'm thinking of doing more with bubbles, since our bubble lab was so fun!

Thanks for all your help and support so far. Please be keeping up on your student's grade with Skyward (I have completed the first grading of their notebooks, so you should be seeing more "stuff" in there than the safety contract now).
