Monday 9/15 - Quiz 2, followed by a lesson on density.
Tuesday 9/16 - Lab day! You will be doing your first lab for me. It will require finding the mass and volume of several objects, then calculating their densities and using this information to identify the materials.
Wednesday 9/17 - Lab report writing - I will teach you how to write a proper lab report for this class, using your data from yesterday. Your finished report is due in on Friday, but you may hand it in early if you finish.
Thursday 9/18 - Review day! We are quickly approaching your first test. This review will make sure that you are prepared.
Friday 9/19 - Test day! This test will cover everything from the beginning of the school year.

Week of 9/8-9/12
Welcome to an exciting year at Knox! I'm sorry I was a little delayed getting this week's work up and running, as I was experiencing logistical problems with our pretest. It's all fixed, and here's a summary of what's up in 303 for the next few days.
Monday 9/8 - Quiz 1 (you are allowed to use your survival guide and lab safety sheet on this) followed by a brief lesson on the difference between observation and inference.
Tuesday 9/9 - Pre-test day. All you will do today is take your pre-test. Don't worry. It doesn't count for you. It just gives me a clear picture of where we are starting.
Wednesday 9/10 - Length. We will be learning the proper SI units of length and how to measure accurately.
Thursday 9/11 - Volume. We will be learning the proper SI units of volume and how to measure and calculate accurately.
Friday 9/12 - Mass. We will be learning the proper SI units of mass and how to measure accurately. We will also learn the important difference between mass and weight.
