Friday: Measurement, HMWK for next week... Density

Today in class we'll finish yesterday's measurement activity WS and discuss/share answers, as well as measurements on some of you - records put on the board.

We'll also try to match prefixes with values such as 10, 1/10, 100, 1000 and deci, kilo, micro, etc...  :)

Books passed out today.  

We may start notes on Density and have some fun activities and demonstrations mixed in as well Friday and Monday.

Homework:  will help give more background for density and wrap up some of the measurement topics we've reviewed so far:
Due on Tuesday: Read p. 14-21 in the text; work p. 21 #1,2,4,5    
Recommended extra problems:
P. 32 (chapter review) problems 2,4,9, 12-17 (except 15), 23,24, 27-29.
If you have any questions, you may come in and ask or see my teacher's edition to the textbook anytime!

On Tuesday in class we will go over answers to the homework, try some conversions between units, and see density demonstrations.  

September 5th (Thursday in Science Club) we will try to measure a HUMAN's density!  Come and see, and bring extra clothes or a swimsuit!  :)
