For the next two weeks kids will be participating in the Michigan MEAP test. We start tomorrow and we will be testing our first hour kids. In Science, we will be doing some other activities in class in order to keep my classes in line with each other. Testing takes place T/W/Th of this week and T/W of next week and possibly Th of next week. Please make sure to have your kids get a good nights rest and a good breakfast in the morning.
Monday:
kids are working on finding the volume of some cylinders and rectangular solids to hopeful help them determine the cylinders in the unlabeled jar. Kids will use their skills learned last week on how to measure and calculate volume but they will also learn a new process called Water Displacement. Water Displacement is when you have an object that is an odd shape in which there is no formula to use to measure its volume. We use a graduated cylinder to measure volume in this case.
