Math: Perimeter goes around the RIM. (P = 2l + 2w)
Science: Check out the photo below of how the poles of magnet are stronger than the middle.

Math: We began measuring the AREA of certain objects today. Remember the formula for finding the area of a rectangle (l x w) and the formula for finding the area of a square (s x s).
Science: In the magnet lab today, we saw how the poles of a magnet are much stronger than the middle of a magnet. Check out the photo and Excel data charts we created below.

Math: Remember that if you are measuring to the quarter inch, your answer could go to the half inch (2/4) or the next whole number.
Science: The motion lab was interesting in that it showed us the more force we put through the straw, the faster the ball rolled on the table. We also saw how on a smooth surface that has less friction, the ball will travel longer than if it is on a surface with more friction, like the carpet.

Math: We began actual measurements today. Measuring to the nearest centimeter (cm) is fairly easy: think of rounding (if the measurement is at the midway point or higher, go to the higher number; if the measurement is before the midway point, go back to the smaller number).
Science: A force is a push or a pull. We measure forces in units called Newtons, which can be measured using a spring scale. Check out the photos below!

Math: It is critical to study the yellow customary and metric benchmark sheet that you were given last week. Once you understand the different benchmarks, you will be better able to solve problems when asked about specific measurements for specific items.
Science: We have a DPM in three weeks, which will cover everything we have learned so far this year. Continue to study every day to be prepared.
