Here are a few of the ideas we will learn about this week:

Monday 6/20

Job question: Cosmetology - In which portion of your hair is chemical wave solution absorbed faster – where hair porosity is the greatest or density is the greatest?

Tuesday 6/21

How well do these subtraction rules work with these problems? Do we need to revise any of the rules?

4 + -6 = n 12 + n = 3 -5 + -3 = n -15 + 7 = n -43 + 14 = n

(Use the "Rules for positive and negative numbers" pdf below.)

Wednesday 6/22

Name the four types of sentences:

The milk carton sat silently on the counter top. Nothing disturbed the carton as the milk inside slowly soured.

Wow! I can't believe it!

Sit here. Don't move.

What are you doing? What is going on?

Thursday 6/23

When you are working with human hair, what is the difference between density and porosity? (Tip: Look up definitions of density and porosity.)

Friday 6/24

For the past three weeks, we have tried out and written about our hard-boiled egg experiment. The purpose of our experiment was to decide which recipe would produce the best quality hard-boiled egg. We selected three recipes - two were based on participants’ recipes and one was from a website. Our hypothesis was that Experiment B would produce the best quality hard-boiled egg. These three experiments were performed by apprentice scientists in a kitchen at Literacy Action Center in South Salt Lake City, Utah. While the results suggest that at least one of these recipes will produce a quality hard-boiled egg, our results did not support our hypothesis. Interested in knowing which recipe was the best?
