Probability

Today we made steady progress in our chemistry unit and most groups now know how to determine the relative strength or the solutions. We will do our final testing next week. In math we started probability and discussed how probability is used in the world around us.

pH Lab

6/6/2018

Today we played some great games of Ultimate Frisbee in the morning. after recess students went over their math evaluations, made their corrections and uploaded their work to Fresh Grade. In the afternoon, we continued our pH science inquiry lab. Students worked on trying to determine the relative strength of the acids and bases. Mr. Hong and I were very impressed with all the learning that was going on. Students were very engaged and had great hypothesis and ideas. Tomorrow we will continue our work in chemistry.
