Aug. 26th-Sept. 6th MEASURING MATTER—-CALCULATING DENSITY

We’ll begin the week of the 27th continuing to brush up on measurement using the international systems of units (SI). Our goal is to begin our study of matter by calculating density using the formula…D=M/V (density is equal to mass divided by volume. When our measuring is spot on we’ll tackle our first big lab (“FLOATERS AND SINKERS). The following should help make sense of the idea of density of matter:

We’ll be out on Friday the 30th (a student holiday) and Monday the 2nd of September (Labor Day).

AUG. 18TH-27TH WELCOME BACK MUSTANGS!!! DSIS PROCEDURES AND LAB SAFETY–INTRODUCTION TO MATTER

I hope you all had a great summer break and that you are recharged and ready to get back to work. The first few days of school will be filled with the “how to-dos” and the “dos and don’ts.” We’ll cover everything Mustang style on Wednesday and Thursday and begin lab safety on Friday.

Before we begin our investigations in the lab every student will need a LABORATORY SAFETY AGREEMENT on file in the science lab (no exceptions). This is an MISD policy and is in place to help in creating a safe working and learning environment. Check this out:

Don’t be this guy!
