Machines do Work! Fractions, Decimals, and Percent Oh My!

This week in Math we:

  • Looked at how 100 is the magic number for percent.
  • Worked with 100 grids to visually identify "how much"
  • Changed a fraction to a decimal.
  • Changed a decimal to a percent.
  • Completed and handed in:  Get Ready, 4.1 (representing percent), 4.2 (fractions, decimals, and percents)
  • Wrote a short quiz about percent.  Good job!

This week in Science we:

  • Completed and handed in our notes and activities about Simple Machines.
  • Constructed 6 simple machines using straws, masking tape, and string. (additional supplies could be traded for or given if a skill testing question about mechanical systems was answered correctly).
  • Started to work on notes, activities and questions for Complex Machines (1.2).  A copy can be printed here if you have misplaced yours.
  • Next week:  Vocabulary, another machine challenge.


Other Stuff:

  • Please bring back your field trip forms!
  • A copy can be printed here if you have misplaced yours.
