Atticus studied and discussed daily Greek life. He made notations of how different city-states distrusted one another which created a disconnect throughout Ancient Greece. This made him draw the conclusion that Ancient Greece had independent city-states instead of one united nation. He compared life in Athens to life in Sparta.

Atticus read about solar radiation. He learned that solar radiation is unique because it travels through empty space in addition to through and out of matter. He read about the career of an energy auditor and how this relates to thermal radiation.

Atticus and I continued to work on relating customary and metric units. He is struggling with these conversions because most of them are approximate and not exact conversions with all answers required to be rounded to the nearest tenth. We reviewed how to set up problems using dimensional analysis, multiplying by the conversion factor, and dividing out the common units. Atticus practiced setting up problems using this strategy and used the given unit equivalency tables to help with conversions.

I worked with Atticus to create a 3 dimensional staircase using 3-point perspective.

Atticus and I focused on last night's homework, which he struggled with, on completing conversions of metric units using the conversion rate to find an equivalent rate or using dimensional analysis. We reviewed how to relate customary and metric units and how to use the given approximate equivalency table to solve conversions before Atticus and I completed his homework together. He was assigned similar practice problems from the lesson's skills review for homework.

Atticus had a group lesson today where the focus was on the Greek Tragedies and Theatre. They learned that Greek Theatre began with ceremonies and festivals honoring the gods. Tragedies were a popular and influential form of theatre. They explored the writings of
Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus. They discussed how Athens and Sparta were different.

We worked on basic rudiments and a few basic rhythms on the drum set.

We worked on playing some basic chords on the guitar.

Atticus read about thermal equilibrium, conduction and heat. He added these terms to his science notebook and illustrated them. We discussed them with examples. He completed 2 graphic organizers diagramming heat transfer from source to receiver object and what happened to the thermal energy.
