Students should have a green folder, a notebook and sharpened pencils for Science class everyday. For Friday, November 6th Students should have their completed concept charts of "The Lifecycle of a Product" Students have been assigned to document the lifecycle of a glass bottle, plastic bottle or aluminum can. Eventhough the kids worked in groups, each student needs to have their own concept chart completed. There is model of a lifecycle of a glass bottle included in the information packet. This is because students are creating their own lifecycles of their assigned product. Remember to include the actual raw materials, manufacturing process, useful life purpose, and end of life options. Thanks, Mrs. Willinger Dear Students and parents, Homework for tonight Tuesday, October 27, 2009: Please complete Movie review sheet on the movie "Earth" that we watched in class. There will be a district wide assessment for 6th grade Science students on Monday Novemeber 2nd. Students should study the listed concepts below on the attached study guide from their previous assessment. The two tests are very silimar.
The following concepts will be on the upcoming assessment. You should think about how we explored these concepts during our lab investigations and review your analysis questions. Hazardous Products and their warning labels
Flammable
Toxic
Density
Density relative to water
Identifying hazardous substance
Separating a mixture
Identifying an unknown substance
scroll down and you will find that I have included addition information for each concept Hazardous Products and their warning labels Any solid, liquid, or gas that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. Flammable Can catch fire easily Harmful if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin Density The relationship between the mass and volume of a substance. (The measure of how much matter exists in a given volume.) Density= mass divided by volume Density relative to water Put the object in water. If it floats, it is less dense than the water. If it sinks, it is more dense than the water. Identifying hazardous substance Put on safety gear (goggles, mask, gloves, etc.). Observe from a distance. Identify characteristics (properties) Contact HazMat team Separating a mixture Put on safety gear Take out solids using forceps (tweezers) and/or filter and/or magnet if applicable Separate the liquids using a dropper (if the top layer is less dense/separated from the bottom layer) Identifying an unknown substance Observe the physical (ex. color, hardness, density) and chemical (how it interacts with other substances) properties It is usually marked with 10 ml intervals. Each interval in between equals 1 (additional) ml. assessment will be given on Tuesday October 20, 2009 Execpt with my 004 group with Ms. Oudheusden, the will be given the assessement on Wednesday. Good luck.
We are finishing up our Science unit for Studying Materials Scientifically. Homework for tonight is to review and revise analysis questions A 47 on a separate sheet of notebook paper. Students are to write out complete answers based on their data collected on their data sheet "comparing glass cleaners", group discussions, and individual decisons. This is an important assignment as it will be graded and is based on our lessons thus far. previous assigned Tonights homework is for students to make sure they have completed their letter to the HAZMAT team explaining the safety procedures we used in class during our experiements to protect ourselves from potentially hazardous materials. -Mrs. Willinger |
