Math is a tool often used by scientists to gather data, establish algorithms that describe the natural world, and express data in simpler terms. Students in both classes practiced skills such as multiplying and dividing in scientific notation and converting between the American and …
The first week of chemistry and physical science saw the kiddos practicing basic skills-- working with lab equipment, converting within the metric system, and waking up early five days a week.

Hope everyone had a blessed Labor Day! I spent my Labor Day with my family and husband-- just the way I prefer. We've gotten into the grind of science in the past couple of weeks. In week two, we worked with the same tools that scientists use-- the metric system, the scientific method, and experimental …
Only three days of school and I already know most of the students' names! This week was pretty light, with some introductory activities and a lab safety experience. The shortened periods have been a blessing; I'm all done teaching before lunch. 🙂 Next week we'll start into our content. We'll discuss the nature of science, …
