Students took the SI Conversions Test (30 pts) and began the SI Measuring Lines WS (50 pts). We will complete the Temperature Conversions Section with the Temp. Conversions Table in Class tomorrow. We will be having a Temperature Conversions Test on Thursday.
SI/English Conversions
Students took the SI Conversions Test (50 pts) and finished the English/SI Conversions WS (45 pts) in class today.
Temperature Conversions
Students finished the Temperature Conversion Notes learning the formula for converting from the Kelvin scale to the Celsius scale and vice versa. We also reviewed the formulas for converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. They were then given the Temperature Conversion WS 1 (25 pts) to turn in before the end of class. They were also reminded of the SI Conversions Test on tomorrow.
SI/English Conversions
Students learned the key relationships in volume, mass and distance to convert in the English system of measurement. Then, we learned the key SI-English conversions to allow conversions between SI and the English System. Then, we worked 3 practice problems before beginning the SI/English conversions WS (45 pts). They were given notice of the SI Conversions Test on Monday.
Temperature Conversions
Students learned the three temperature scales and how to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. We also discussed PEMDAS and order of operations as we worked 4 practice problems. They will have the SI Conversions Test on Tuesday.
SI Conversions
Students performed 3 practice problems converting in SI. We then completed a worksheet on SI Conversions in class (45 pts). They understand that 6 steps are expected to be shown in the conversions on the WS. We also had a calculator check in class for a bronze grade (10 pts).
SI Conversions
Students learned 12 prefixes in SI, the numbers they represent, and their symbols. After comparing the different units and writing equations with the units, we wrote conversion factors comparing the SI units. They were assigned an SI Conversion Factors WS (34 pts) for completion/homework the prior night. Then, we performed conversions in SI using the Conversion Factors. They were given an SI Conversions WS for homework.
SI Prefixes / SI Conversion Factors
Students learned the 6 base prefixes in SI, the numbers they represent, and their symbols. Then, we drew lines to measure mm, cm, and dm. After comparing the different units and writing equations with the units, we wrote conversion factors comparing the SI units. They were assigned an SI Conversion Factors WS (34 pts) for completion/homework.
ACT Aspire
Students took the ACT Aspire Test in class today on the Chromebook laptop computers.
Scientific Notation
Students completed reading from the text on how to multiply, divide, add and subtract w/numbers in scientific notation. Then we practiced solving scientific notation processes w/a calculator and without a calculator. Then, they completed a worksheet on "Scientific Notation, +, -, x, and division" - 50 pts.
