Science- Tuesday, September 29

Classwork: Went over the scientific processes homework and completed yesterday's investigation. 2nd & 3rd hour then took notes on speed.

Homework: None

Discussion Starters: Try to think of 5 different units of speed. For example, miles per hour is one, centimeters per year is another.

Geometry- Tuesday, September 29

Classwork: More practice with constructions.

Homework: Constructions Practice #1-10 (skip #9). See the 8th grade mathematics folder for a copy. Here are links to a few videos that might be helpful for parallel lines:

Discussion Starters: Perfecting constructions takes practice much like any other skill. Don't get frustrated if you don't get it right away! What's something you had to practice often in order to get better? Maybe free-throws, playing trombone, driving a manual transmission, whistling, or cooking soufflé- all of these things take practice and you get better over time. Constructions are no different- it won't be easy at first.
