Today we are discussing the metric system and how to convert from one unit to another. We went through the discussion with a Power Point presentation and then practiced conversions. If students did not finish the conversions they need to finish the last page of the packet (both sides) as homework due tomorrow.
Reminder: We do not have school Monday & Tuesday. Our first Daily Science Quiz will be Wednesday, October 5th. Students are allowed to use their Daily Sciences #1-18 on the quiz so they should check them over to be sure they are complete.
