 We’re trying to determine which stairs are the most extreme.  We measured the depth and height of the stairs and compared the values.  We also measured the angles of the stairs.  
    
 

  
We can look at growth patterns and make charts, graphs and equations.  Some are linear, and some are not.

We tested our knowledge of solubility by predicting which chemicals will produce a precipitate when combined and which will not.  We took detailed observations, and verified our  predictions experimentally.  
   

As midterm approaches, we all need to keep working hard!  Doing homework, and checking the answers is very important!   

Beans are growing!  

And broccoli?

   
   
We planted our beans today!  We will measure them daily to see how fast they grow.

We decided to find out!  We measured everyone’s height   
And foot length

 
And tracked the data in a chart

  
We will make a scatter plot to interpret the trend in our class.

Each triangle has a simplified, or unsimplified expression.  The challenge is to match them all up!   
 
  

 We are experimenting with germination.  We’re putting beans in moist paper towel, and leaving the baggies on the windowsill for a week.  We will calculate the percent of beans that sprout.
