Last Week in Math We:

  • Did a final project question for Pythagorean Theorem.  Can you apply it?  Explain it?  Summarize it?  If you need a copy of the final project, please see!
  • Friday Fun Math:  Parcels
    • Please remember it is not about the right answer, it is about the process! Show me what you tried and why it worked or didn't work!!
  • Volume, Units?
  • Surface Area Units?
  • VISUAL JOURNAL!


Last Week in Science We:

  • Studied cell processes.  
    • OSMOSIS is what?  How did your experiment with raisins and orbies turn out?  What happened and why?
    • Diffusion is.......an example of diffusion is......
  • VISUAL JOURNAL!


Coming Up:
