18 - SI Measurements using a ruler. Then we went over the relationships between the 6 basic prefixes in SI. We drew the millimeter, centimeter, and decimeter on our papers and discussed the relationships between them. Afterwards, we discussed and made conversion factors off all the prefixes in SI.

19 - We reviewed the SI relationships, got the two clues to converting and completed a SI Conversion Factor WS.

We introduced the SI system of prefixes, symbols and numbers that are used. We used the meter stick to introduce base unit, deci-, centi-, and milli-. We will begin to write conversion factors on tomorrow. Students will continue to need their calculators each day.

We discussed what Density actually tells you. Then we worked 3 sample problems for Density. After working the practice problems, students were given a Density Word Problem worksheet to complete in class. Several did not have their calculators as they were told to have. They must have their calculators each day. It's vital...

We completed the notes on Base Units of SI, discussed density and what it is, then calculated Density word problems.

We talked about the events that led up to and during 9-11-01. We then viewed a short 15 min. presentation from the internet that showed pictures to the event w/music. We finished with a short writing on the personal feelings and events of that day.

We took the English Conversions Test in class. We will view the 9-11 Video tomorrow. Then begin the Base Unit notes and Density WPWS.

Today, we introduced the Metric System (SI), its base units, symbols, and prefixes. We also talked about volume, mass, and temperature. They were reminded of the English Conversions Test on tomorrow. They must memorize the common conversions, and the process and have a calculator tomorrow.

Today, we worked several practice problems from English Conversions. We displayed several common English conversions and then began the English Conversions WS. If they did not finish the English Conversions WS, they were to finish it for homework.

Students were allowed to look over the Math Review WS from yesterday and check their mistakes. Then, we took the Math Review Test. After, we began the notes on Conversion Factors. We introduced units of measurement for distance, weight, and volume in the English System and began the Conversion Factors WS.

We answer the Math Review WS 2/3 with the calculator. They were informed that they have a Math Review Test Tomorrow. They MUST have a calculator everyday for the rest of the year. We began the Conversion Factor notes at the end of class.
