Homework 10/30/14

Note to Parents

Good day Parents,
This is just a friendly reminder about the procedures section. It is stated in the STEM Fair Journal on page 14, that, " You MUST have at least 3 repeated trials and clearly identify what you are keeping the same and what you are changing (variables)  to ensure a well designed investigation." Please ensure that your child's procedures include the above mentioned information. If you have already submitted the STEM Fair Journal (procedure section) and "Repeat the steps two more times," were not included, please revise that section once the journal is returned. It is imperative that the procedures section is clear and coherent and can be followed by anyone reading it.


Since your child has been working especially hard this week, I'm not assigning anymore homework this week. Mr Case and myself are in the middle of finalizing report card grades and would like to take this time to be accurate with our calculations.

Reminder tomorrow is a 2 hour early dismissal and there is no school on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

Homework 10/29/14

Note to Parents

Parents,
Tomorrow, 10/30/14, the procedures section of the STEM Fair Journal is due. All of the items that you listed in your materials section should be included in your procedures. Please be very specific when you are recording your procedures. Your procedures should be written so that, someone else can follow them and reach the same or similar result.

Here is an example below.

Procedure
Question -Which temperature of water ( hot, luke warm, or cold) does red dye mix into the fastest?

First, pour 250 ml of hot, luke warm and cold water into each 1.234 gram container.
Second, put 1 drop of red dye into each 250 ml of water.
Third, use the timer to measure how long it takes the red dye to mix into each 250 ml of water.
Last, record my findings.

 Please make sure that you are recording the amounts/weighs in METRIC units in your procedure section. I listed a website on the 10/23/14 homework page at the bottom of this page that converts customary units of measure into metric units of measure. Please refer to that site as needed.

Tomorrow, your child will take the Math portion of the MUST TEST. It will be the first standardized test of the school year. All of the types of problems that I have been assigning for homework on this site, will be on the test. Please review the different types of questions on tonight's homework with your child in preparation for tomorrow's test.

Homework 10/23/14

Dear Parents,
Tonight there is no Math homework due to the fact that there is Science and Health homework- If your child hasn't already done their question and prediction on pages 8 and 10, please ensure that they have them ready to submit to me tomorrow. Those two sections were due last week and only a handful of students submitted them. Tomorrow according to the timeline that I sent home, the variables and materials are due. They are on page 12 and 13 of the Student STEM Fair Journal. Please review the information about variables on page 11 with your child. Help them identify the three types of variables in their specific project. I will approve or disapprove each section each week as your child submits it to me. Please note- When you help your child record the materials they must give specific amounts and sizes in METRIC measurements. Click on the link to view a website that converts customary units to metric units. http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html

Health- Tonight's health homework is a review of all the assignments your child has done in Health for Chapter 1. It is a double sided worksheet. Please ensure that they are completing each section correctly. They were given a health book that they could refer back to as necessary to help them identify the correct answers.

I plan on sending out the next bi-weekly communication and the yellow folder home either tomorrow 10/24/14 or 10/27/14. Please keep an eye out for both.

Thank you parents for all that you do.
