LT: I can explain how bias influences perspective.

        In Class Mr. Grove gave us a role and we read a story about two boys skipping school and going through there house. Then we went wrote a paragraph about the things that were useful things in the house for what are roles were then we compared are perspectives and had to guess what we were. We then had a ticket out the door about how does bias influence your perspective.

Science:

Today in Mr. Groves class, we learned about Atoms and Elements. Types of metal are iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper.

A symbol is a one or two-letter abbreviation derived from the elements English or Latin name.

An atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, as well as the number of electrons in the electron cloud.

Atomic mass is weighted average of the masses of all the elements isotypes. Rounding the atomic mass the nearest whole number yields the mass number of the most common isotype.

Mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in a specific isotype.

The name is the elements common name.

The number 6 in carbon is the atomic number. The Nuclei of the three isotopes of hydrogen are protium, deuterium, and tritium.

An Ion is a atom with a net positive or negative charge. More protons = + ion. More electrons = - ion.

Scientists create models to study things when they are too small, too large, or too dangerous to study. A nucleus is too small to see. If an atom was blown up to be the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a small marble.

Classroom Reporter 8/31/2015

Science:

What we did first in class was Mr. Grove checked homework.

Second thing he did was put questions on the board about is this a hypothesis yes or no.

Then he did the questions is this testable yes or no.

After we that he call on people to share their homework to see what they did.

Next we took notes on the structure of atoms in our interactive notebook.

L.T : I will describe the structure of an atom.

Answering questions

1.) every atom has positively and negatively charged particles.

2.) no two atoms are identical , every atom is unique.

3.) all atoms have about the same mass.

4.)some atoms are large enough that they can be seem with the human eye.

5.) an atom is the smallest particle of matter.

Drawing the picture then labeling , also color the picture that you draw.

Learning about the structure of atoms , taking the notes.

Then we watched the video in class about on Rutherford atoms,

Then we watch the video on the golden retriever.
