Day 8

Students had the opportunity to summarize their news articles out loud for extra credit, as they will every week. After collecting the news articles, students got back their quizzes that they took last Friday. 
The topic of today's discussion was giving meaning to all those metric terms we learned last week. It's fine and dandy to say that 1000 grams equals one kilogram, but what does a kilogram feel like in your hand compared to a gram? What is it close to in our English units? A pound? An ounce? A ton? This is what we are going to discover.We ended class by completing most of worksheet 1-5, which gave some meaning to metric units and appreviations.

There is no homework, and the Chapter 1 test is on Wednesday, September 29th.
