Today in class we reviewed our objectives from the past two days by completing worksheet 1-1. Students worked with a partner to put the steps of the scientific method in the correct order, and then they had to match the vocab term to the proper definition. After that I introduced them to the metric system (Section 1-2 notes), the standard system of measurement used exclusively throughout the world, except for our United States of America. I demonstrated the procedure for converting from one metric prefix to another, like changing kilometers into centimeters. All it takes is moving the decimal to the left or right a certain number of places. With whatever time was left in class, students worked on page 1-4 (chapter 1, page 4) until the bell rang.
News article #1 is due on Tuesday, and the Metric Conversion quiz will be on Friday, September 7th.
