Wednesday

We learned more about the metric system today. We converted millimeters to centimeters and on to kilometers. Then we measured the hallway downstairs so we could visulize what a dekameter and half of a hectometer look like. We returned to the classroom and converted the measurements into centimeters and millimeters.

We determined the mass of a diet soda compared to a regular soda. The volume was the same but the mass was different. We concluded that the difference was that the sugar in the regular soda was heavier than the aspartame in the diet soda.

We started a power point presentation covering the chapter.

We will finish the power point tomorrow, finish drawing our biomes, our metric chart, and take home things that students have brought to show the other students.
