This week,students read the //**Course Syllabus**// and were immersed in the details of the //**Lab Safety Contract**//. Both of these documents are to be signed by parents. The deadline for submission is Friday, 27 August.

We have just (Wednesday) started our study of the Metric System. Students have taken notes and have each received a packet to read. We have also had our first "hands on" experience with metric equipment in the form of the metric ruler. Tonight's homework is a handout on converting various lengths into larger or smaller units. It is titled, "Metric Units of Length" In order to successfully complete this assignment, students will need to use the "stair" diagram on page four of the Metric Unit handout.

We will continue to study the various base units in the metric system through the end of this week and will complete our first lab next week
