Physics:
Formulas; Area / Volume -
Will was instructed to begin a page in his science notebook, with the heading: ‘Formulas’. We started with the physical science definition of the word formula, and how they are used. Will then copied the formula for Area and for Volume onto the list. We discussed the physical science definition of volume and how that differs from the acoustic definition. He was then tasked with finding the area of some squares and rectangles. Once he had mastered the formula, we used sugar cubes to create three-dimensional structures and Will was then tasked with finding the Volume of each, using the proper formula. Finally Will was given a series of squares and cubes to find the area or volume using the correct formula. Homework: memorize the scientific method and the prefixes related to metrics.
