Math Periods 2 and 6
There will not a Problem of the Week this week.
Use this link to play the screencasting of the math lesson. Listen for the prompt to pause the video as students take notes and work. Add more work time if needed. Monitor students as they are working. If students finish early with their work, they can begin to work on their homework.
Science: Periods 3 and 6
In this period, students will be learning about the tools the will be using in Science. As you introduce each slide, have students illustrate and label the tool. They do not have to write all of the information. They do need to have the illustration and the name of the tool.
There will be some slides on how to read the meniscus on graduated cylinders. Have them draw the side views of where they eye should be relative to the graduated cylinder (slides 8 and 9.) Use this link for the presentation.

Science Period 8
Students have the option of continuing to work on their math assignment or using the Netbooks to go to Fun Brain, Cool Math, or Little Alchemy. If they are using the Netbooks, they are to work individually. They can also go to IXL.com. They can work on any math standard. Students are to shut the Netbooks completely down and plug them back in before the end of the period. The floor needs to be clean before students may leave. They also need to be sitting quietly before being dismissed. They know that they are dismissed by you and not the bell.
