For extra work or to help your student, quiz them on their times tables when driving to school or during commercial breaks, add in some division, addition and subtraction to help with their mental math!
Any questions or concerns can be e-mailed to me.
Force and Motion Unit
During the course of this week, you will notice the start of many new procedures as we begin our time together on a trajectory toward success! We will be creating a science journal that will be used to take notes, track data and serve as study guide or 'living text book'. This notebook will be interactive and student-created. Part of your homework will have to do with the creation of this future learning tool.
We will also begin wrapping up our unit on 'Force and Motion'. You have been exploring the properties of force and motion by building cars and collecting data on their performance. The following vocabulary words have been used frequently during this unit:
Force
Motion
Speed
Velocity
Acceleration
On Friday, you will be given a 'Science Pack' to be completed over a period of 7 days. Please use your skills from reading and 'code the text' as needed to aid in complete understanding.
