Today we finished our textbook After that we introduced the Metric System and the importance of scientists using the same form of measurement. In 1995, NASA lost a Mars prob because they were using different forms of measurements. We read the article, Mars Probe lost Due to Simple Math Error and identified the cause of the problem.
Next we introduced MASS by taking a few notes in our notebooks on page 3. We then practiced using the balances by taking the mass of several objects we will use during the year, and by also measuring the mass of 10 different cubes. Friday and Monday we will begin doing volume.
If you have not returned your green sheet, I need it back filled in by your parents There is a copy of the green sheet on the website for Monday August 24th. Also, please get your materials together, thank you so much for those kids who have already got their 5 subject notebook.
Here is the Mass PowerPoint from today.
