Students were introduced to the Metric System, its synonyms and base units through the PowerPoint. They took notes and began to be introduced to the numbers and prefixes of SI also.
Temperature/Scientific Notation
Students were allowed to copy the notes on Temperature and compare the three temperature scales. We also reviewed how to convert temperature from Kelvin to Celsius and vice versa. We also compared temperature and heat. Finally we discussed how to add, subtract numbers in scientific notation.
Conversions/Textbook Website
Students were given the password and username to gain access to their textbooks on line. They were walked through the process and log in on their phones. Then, they were given the English conversions WS back and allowed to look at and find their errors. They were allowed to finish their English Conversions WS for homework.
Conversions
9-20 (Wednesday)
Students worked a practice problem to begin class. It was reviewed and they were handed the English Conversions WS (45 pts). They worked on the WS in class and turned it in at the conclusion of class.
9-19 (Tuesday)
Students were introduced into conversions using conversion factors. We worked on Conversions in the English System of measurement. Five problems from single conversions to multiple conversions were worked in class. Students were given the equations from distance, volume and weight to help in the conversions. No homework other than reviewing the equations.
9-18 (Monday)
Students worked problems w/Conversion factors from their textbook and the Chemistry text on turning regular numbers into scientific notation. Then they were instructed how to convert numbers in SI from the Physical Science textbook. All work was turned in at the end of the period.
Scientific Notation
9-20 (Wednesday)
We had a short poptest on scientific notation (10 pts). Then, we reviewed the correct answers and completed the Scientific Notation WS ( 50 pts) in class.
9-19 (Tuesday)
Students were taught the 5 steps to writing regular numbers in scientific notation. We learned the parts to scientific notation worked several problems, and were assigned the practice problems from p. R102, #54 (18 pts). We also learned how to change scientific notation into a regular number.
9-18 (Monday)
The teacher was at a workshop, so students copied the rules for scientific notation from a worksheet and worked problems from their textbook on how to change regular numbers to scientific notation. They also were to work problems dealing w/numbers in scientific notation (add, subtract, multiply and divide). All work was turned in at the end of the period.
Density, Scientific Notation
Students completed the Density WPWS (40 pts) and began to review the steps to writing numbers in scientific Notation. We continued the notes from the PowerPoint on Density, temperature scales and began scientific notation.
English Conversion Factors
Students completed the English Conversion Factors WS (34 pts). We went over the 2 and 3 step conversions in preparations for the English Conversions on Monday.
Derived units and Density
9-13-17 (Wednesday)
We took notes from the "Data Analysis" PowerPoint on derived units and Density. We learned how to calculate density as well as the difference in an object with high and low density. 4th period was given the Density WPWS (40pts) for homework.
Conversion Factors
9-13-17 (Wednesday)
Students learned the steps to writing conversion factors in the English System of Measurement. We wrote several conversion factors after taking notes from the PowerPoint. Then we began the English Conversion Factors WS (34 pts).
Data Analysis; SI
Students were introduced to the term SI and the prefixes in SI as well as Base Units via the PowerPoint.
