ScienceHERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY CLASS… IN THIS ISSUE

Math: Students examine and distinguish between ratios and rates as they give examples of ratios as multiplicative comparisons of two quantities describing the same attribute and examples of rates as the comparison by division of two quantities having different attributes. Students extend previous work with representing percents using concrete models and fractions. Additionally, students are introduced to generating equivalent forms of fractions, decimals, and percents using ratios, including problems that involve money. Students solve and represent problem situations involving ratios and rates with scale factors, tables, graphs, and proportions. Students also represent real-world problems involving ratios and rates, including unit rates, while converting units within a measurement system.

Science: Students differentiate between common elements and compounds by name and symbol. Students plan and implement comparative and descriptive investigations, including using various tools and equipment, to observe examples of chemical reactions that produce new substances. They recognize that the formation of a new substance may be identified using the evidence of a possible chemical change, such as production of a gas, change in temperature, production of a precipitate, and / or change in color.
