HOmework April 18th

Math 8E1

-Today we worked on word problems using algebra.

-Assignment is due Wednesday and test will be Thursday.

Science 7E1and 7E2

-Today we discussed how students should look for Key Words in deffinition. We figured out what the key words were for temperature, kinetic energy and thermal energy.

-Answers were given to the worksheet. Students will have a test next week on chapter 7 and 8.

Science 8E1 and 8L

-We reviewed the particle theory and density. We spent time learning how to take the mass and volume of objects. We will have one more class reviewing algebra and ratios so that we can do some calculations in the lab. One more class and then 3 labs. Students are starting to see how science uses the concepts they have learned in math this year to solve problems.
