Today you are going to watch this video where I do a quick lesson about multiplying simple fractions. I am going to review the models, because it has been a while. Tomorrow, I will be doing a video that goes over a couple of strategies for multiplying a fraction and a whole number. The materials at the bottom are to give you options for practice. Please complete 20 minutes of practice (not including watching the video) for today and tomorrow. Send me what work you complete in an email or let me know if you have done IXL (please remember to do the IXLs that I am assigning). IXL M20 and M21 will help support the concepts from the video. You may also work on IXL skills M1-7 as a review.

Today you are going to watch a video of me and my son, Josh, creating three different solutions using combinations of 2 solutes in each solution. We are trying to determine whether the two solutes dissolved into water create a chemical reaction. Please pardon the bumps along the way as I try to figure out how to video WITH me in the frame :)
Before getting started, you will need a copy of this page from Google Docs. You can either print it, screenshot it on your iPad or make a copy of my doc and save it to your drive. If all else fails, draw it out and create one for yourself (like I did in the video). When the video is done, please go answer the two questions on this Google Form. Please try and complete this task by Friday. Hi all, I wanted to give everyone a day to catch up. There are A LOT of you that I have not heard from yet.
Please try and work on the crash course videos/questions (From Monday) and the Mystery Science (From Yesterday) and complete the "Exit Ticket" on google forms, even if you don't get to do the activity. For Math, please show me what you have been working on, be it worksheets or IXL skills. You should have about 40 minutes of work from the past 2 days. For those of you who are caught up, take the day off or find something fun to do. I found a Science Mom video on Chemistry and Fractions (perfect combo for us!) in case you are interested in that. I have not had a chance to watch the whole thing, so you'll need to let me know what you think. I'll keep updating, but I am guessing most of the snow has melted at this point :) Hi all, please take the time to watch the Crash Course videos and send me your answers if you haven't done so already. Some teammates have only given me answers for one video but not both. I have created a google form "worksheet" in case that is easier for you to fill out since it will automatically go to me when you are done.
For today, I am giving you a hands-on activity through Mystery Science. You will need to clink on the link to Mystery Science and then go through the slide show. You MUST get your parents permission to do the hands-on activity BEFORE you start. All of the materials should be available in your house. If you do the activity you will need this google doc to fill out. Even if you do not do the activity part, please fill out this Exit Ticket on Google Forms so that I know what you think about the activity and if it was worthwhile. I know there is a lot of links today...trying to figure out "work collection" from afar. Miss you all....happy sciencing! Complete 20 more minutes of work on subtracting mixed numbers. Please email me something (complete work page, or let me know that you did IXL) that you completed over the past two days.
UPDATE! The work provided here is to give you practice. You do not need to complete every assignment or problem. Pick and choose what you want. You can alternate between online (IXL) and print (linked pages). I would be happy to check any work that you want to send me. I have not figured out the best way to do this yet. I have heard from several people that the math journal pages are not printable, so I put screenshots of them too. I will figure it out later. There is a definite learning curve on my end! Please spend about 20 minutes today and tomorrow practicing with the work in this post. I created a video (linked here) of a short lesson about subtracting mixed numbers. It includes a reminder about finding common denominators. Subtracting is the same as adding EXCEPT when you need to borrow because the fraction part you are subtracting is bigger than the fraction you are subtracting from. The one main difference that you need to remember is that you are not going to just "add 10" to the numerator because that will almost always not equal the "1" that you borrowed. There are several resources below for practice, including answers (used to check your own work). There are also the following IXL skills that you can use to practice: L17 Estimating, L18 Adding Mixed Numbers, L19 Subtracting Mixed Numbers. Please email or use flipgrid to ask questions. I will check them at 12:30 and again at 6:00 when I get my "prep" time at home.
Today I would like you to watch a couple of Crash Course videos on YouTube. Remember, Sabrina talks quickly, so you may need to watch it twice. I will post a thread on flipgrid (Newtons- Arbours)for you to answer the questions or you can email them back to me.
Video 1: Great Picnic Mix-up Questions: 1) What is a solute? 2) What is a solvent? 3) Soda water is a solution of what two things? 4) A solution can still be separated, can you separate the two parts of soda water? If so, how? Video 2: Chemical Changes Questions: 1) What is a chemical change? 2) What makes chemical changes different than most mixtures (which are physical changes)? 3) What was Sabrina's OBSERVE example of a chemical change? 4) What 5 pieces of evidence did Sabrina say to look for in chemical changes? Hopefully today will be nice and sunny so that you can play outside (remember social distancing!) and get some fresh air. We take our dog, Buster, for a walk every morning. Today we found A TON of worms on the road. I putting out a challenge for you to search for an answer as to why there were so many out today when earlier this week, there were none. Email me your findings and I will post for the class.
I have also received a request to post more Science Mom vs Math Dad videos as a challenge. This one is about finding which of 9 identical looking balls weighs more. You can use this simulation (click on screen one) to try it out for yourself while Science Mom tries it. I was able to be successful in two attempts (I think I got lucky!), can you? This video from Science Mom and Math Dad is pretty cool too. There is a handout that you can download too. Miss you. Be well :) |
