This week in math will be spent focusing on building inequalities from word problems. Monday's lesson will cover solving two-step inequalities (exactly the same as solving two-step equations but students have to remember to reverse the inequality sign if they multiply or divide by a negative number), while the rest of the week will be spent on word problems. Students will be quizzed on solving inequalities on Wednesday and then on building/solving inequalities from word problems on Friday. Science This week in science will be the formal introduction to the unit on plants. VSVS will be visiting 3rd Period on Monday and 4th/6th Period on Tuesday. These two days will be blocked off for pre-tests on each standard within the unit. Starting on Wednesday we will dive further into photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Students will need to memorize the chemical formulas for both, be able to explain the process of fermentation, and know the function of chlorophyll. A quiz will be given on Friday.

This week in math we will be focusing on inequalities. One-step, two-step, word problems and graphing will all be covered. The main thing to remember is to switch the inequality sign whenever you multiply or divide with negative numbers. Students who were in band missed part of two classes last week, which pushed back our test on creating/solving equations from word problems to Tuesday. A test on solving/graphing inequalities (no word problems) will be on Wednesday. Science This week in science we will be concluding our unit on cells and organ systems with a unit test. Students will receive the study guide on Monday and will take the test on either Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on when they have VSVS (3rd period will be on Tuesday, 4th and 6th will test on Wednesday). The end of the week will open up our new unit on plants and photosynthesis. Math
This week in math we'll be continuing our unit on equations. Students will continue to practice solving two-step equations (quiz on Tuesday) and work their way up to creating and solving their own equations from word problems (quiz on Thursday). We will also start solving and graphing inequalities this week, with a test to follow sometime early next week. Science This week in science we will conclude our lesson on organ systems and levels of organization with a quiz on Tuesday. Students will be given a study guide on Monday and the correct answers will be reviewed before they leave class. The rest of the week will be spent learning about mitosis - the process of cell division. It is possible that they will have a quiz over this on Friday, but like last week, that could be postponed if we don't cover the material thoroughly enough. Students will need to know the names and order of each step, as well as be able to match each step with a picture. A good start would be to memorize the phrase "I Pray More At The Church:" I - Interphase Pray - Prophase More - Metaphase At - Anaphase The - Telophase Church - Cytokinesis Math
Welcome back! We will begin this short week by reviewing classroom procedures with the same PowerPoint presentation I used at the beginning of the year. The next three days will be spent focusing on equations - one-step (which students learned last year), two-step, and building equations from word problems. Students will have a pre-test on Wednesday. Science Welcome back! We will begin this short week by reviewing classroom procedures with the same PowerPoint presentation I used at the beginning of the year. This week also marks the beginning of four VSVS sessions for each science class. For anyone not familiar, VSVS (Vanderbilt Students Volunteering for Science) provides hands-on guided experiments for all students. I will be in the room as well to assist with classroom management. The rest of this week will be spent focusing on organ systems - there will be a lot of note-taking on Wednesday and Thursday (or Tuesday and Wednesday, depending on when your child has VSVS). I have tentatively planned a test on organ systems for Friday if the lessons get completed on time. |
