Warm-up: Friday Reflection (Week 1: Self Reflection)  What did I learn this week?

Reflect on what you’ve learn this week. Make a summary of this week’s lesson. What did you learn? What did you enjoy learning? What do you wish you could learn more about? How could knowing some of this information help you learn more about the world?

Classwork: Review the concepts  of: SI units, volume, mass

Homework: Study for quiz on Monday

Concepts to know for quiz:

1. Know the definitions for "independent variable, dependent variable, hypothesis, control, and constant" and be able to identify them in a "lab scenario".

2. Know how to find the volume of a solid object with defined sides (like a cube or a block. Your answer should be in cm3 form)

3. Know how to find the volume of a solid object with undefined sides (water displacement!)

4. Know the difference between mass and weight

5. Know the units (meter/centimeter, liter/millilieter, kilograms/grams) and the equipments (triple-beam-balance, graduated cylinder, meter stick) that we use to measure objects.

5. Know what SI stands for
