This week was only 3 days long because of our thanksgiving break, and I'm having a great time with my family.  This week we continued reading Of Mice and Men and took a writing assessment on a theme of the book.  We also continued to work our skits of our scientists and presented them on Wednesday.  I felt our group did pretty good, with the exception of me getting stuck on my third part.  Otherwise great week and can't wait to return to school on Monday.

This week we worked on a skit for science where we studied famous scientists relating to matter.  In our skit we created a story where Werner Heisenberg discovers what he is famous for and what would be done with his research.  We also continued on our social studies government project and I have finally caught up to where we need to be.  Next we have to do research on rivers and we have to read Of Mice And Men for language arts.  Awesome week and I'm hoping for an even better, 3 day week next week.

This week we worked on the social studies project where we need to find the districts and other information relevant to where we live.  Many of us had to retake the government quiz while the rest of us worked on the location part of it.  We also worked on creating crystal structures out of clay in art, because we're working on creating actual crystals in science.  We had a packet where we selected any crystal type we wanted and we created them by making basic shapes out of clay and used slip to combine them together.  That was very fun and I can't wait till next week to continue on that.

This week we worked on or Career Evaluations where we chose any career we want and relate them to Science, Social Studies, and English.  We also had to create pros and cons and a description of our job.  We also started a new topic in Social Studies where we are reading a book about laws and the constitution and we have a quiz on chapter 3 on Monday, which I think is a little too early.  Great week and hoping for a better one next week.

This week was great, being only three days.  We prepared the letters and presentations that were to presented on Wednesday to the School Board about whether or not we should have 1 to 1 learning throughout the entire school.  I feel that we all presented very well. I also was convinced that the Board was convinced that having 1 to 1 learning would be the better way to teach students.  We also worked on our video productions in art on Monday and Wednesday.  I think that all the videos will turn out very good, because we have put so much time and effort into them.

This week, Jace and I procrastinated a little bit about filming our commercial, and it came back to get us a little.  We couldn't get much editing in and I hope it's enough.  Also this week I actually read the rest of Acceptance and added a question into the book discussion thing.  I thought it was an awesome week and I hope for an even better week with only 3 days after the weekend.

Measuring Blog

The difference between accuracy and precision is that accuracy is how close you are to your wanted target.  Precision is the consistency of your outcomes of the test.  Comparing an electronic balance and a triple-beam balance the electronic balance is more accurate, because it can measure into milligrams.  The triple-beam balance is more precise because being less accurate two items that way a milligram apart will measure the same on a triple-beam balance. Significant digits are any numbers except zeros that are used to show the scale of the number.  The mass of 2 Liters of water weighs about 2000 grams.  What I learned about making measurements is what the difference is between accuracy and precision.
