It's only Tuesday ?!?

It was nice to meet some of your parents last night at Back to School night, but it made for a REALLY long day.

So today we are going to finish up our topic from yesterday on observations and inferences.
Here is our agenda:
1) Warm up by deciding if a few statements are observations or inferences - decide if they are QUANTITATIVE or QUALITATIVE if they are observations.
2) Look at a few more sample scenes to practice making observations and inferences
3) OUR FIRST ACTIVITY!!!! (Click HERE to view the handout)
      - We are going to use "Ob-sertainers".  They are these really cool (and really frustrating) discs that have a single small steel ball inside.  Each one has different partitions on the inside that prevents/allows the movement of the ball.  You are going to have to hypothesize how the partitions look by moving the container around and using your senses to collect observations.

HOMEWORK: You will need to complete questions 1,2, and 4 for homework tonight.  You will answer question 3 after I show you what each container actually looks like.
