Measurement Olympics - Last day

Thursday and Friday were pretty busy - we didn't take much time to talk about the measurements we were making, we were just trying to fit them all in.  Today, we took a step back to see if everybody was making accurate measurements and using the correct units.  We went through the practice portion of that yellow packet and wrote the "correct" measurements on the board.  Below are links to the results that each class came up with:

Measurement Practice - 4th Period

Measurement Practice - 5th Period

Measurement Practice - 6th Period

Measurement Practice - 7th Period

I will be collecting these packets tomorrow in class, so if for some reason you didn't get it done in class, please take the time to go through our class results and get the right numbers written down.

The last three events of our Measurement Olympics took place today as well; the cotton-ball shot put, the temperature challenge, and the breath holding competition.  These were supposed to be fun events, but at the same time give you more practice measuring distance, time, and temperature.

Be ready for a quick quiz (easier than the last one!) on Wednesday about the different types of measurement.  We will then spend a couple of days talking about the metric system and have a bigger quiz early next week combining everything we've done so far.
