Sept. 12-16, 2016, Week 4

Unit 1: Science and Measurement

Learning Intentions:

I am learning how to solve percent problems.

I am building an analytical balance and using it to create paper masses to measure objects.

I can read and respond in writing to an article about current science and technology.

Day / Activity / Success Criteria / Pre / Post /
Monday
August 29 / Day 4 Notes: Percent problems with percent worksheet. / 1. I can use a calculator to solve percent problems involving symbols, decimals and fractions.
Tuesday / 3-D Printed Car Article
Percent Lab / 2. I am aware of current capabilities of 3-D printing.
Wed./ Thurs. / Day 5 Notes: Measuring Mass
Students will build a balance. Students will measure the mass of small objects using counter weights they create with graph paper. / 3. I can build an aluminum-can balance and use it to measure the mass of small objects accurately.
Friday / Binder Check
Quiz: percent problems, understanding mass units, 3-D car article content and vocabulary. / 4. I have a binder, pen, paper and a calculator in class. My binder is neat and the papers are organized by date.

Ratings: 4-I could teach it, 3-I know this, 2- I have heard of it, 1-I don’t know this
