Greetings and welcome back! This week we will continue to move ahead in our investigation of the effects of heat on floating and sinking. By weeks end we will surely have enough data to resolve the issue. Also we will begin using Google Reader as a way to obtain information. I also want you to take some time to reflect on the learning you have been doing in Social Studies and how that may apply to Science class. In particular, how can you use your own learning style to help you most in science?

Here is the overview

** Every day there will be a short vocab quiz on the previous nights words. These terms should be in your glossary from last week.

Monday- Google Reader (do this one first) and Phases assignment. (Do this one second)

Homework - Know Mass and Volume definitions

Tuesday- Return to lab. Does temperature affect density?

Homework - Know Density and Matter definitions

Wednesday - More lab activity (I can’t give away the surprise here), phases assignment due.

Homework - Know Atom and Element definitions

Thursday- Wrap up density, heating, floating and sinking labs

Homework - Know Solid, Liquid, Gas definitions

Friday- Final vocabulary quiz for the week, possible lab activity

See you this week!
