A BIMETALLIC STRIP is two different metals that a fussed together. When heated one metal will bend faster than the other.These are found in thermometers and thermostats. when its heated it will bend up ward when it is cooled it will bend down ward. They are really fun to watch.

Variables and Expressions

In math, you might see a problem that looks like this - 2m + n. The letters (m and n) are called variables. The whole problem is called an expression. To figure out this expression, you need to know what the letters represent. In this case, the m stands for 2 and the n stands for 3. Also, when you see two numbers, or variables, beside each other, that means you multiply them. Now you can figure out the expression.
1. 2m + n
2(2) + 3
4 +3 = 7

2. x = 2.4 y = 4.2
2(x) + y
2(2.4) + 4.2
4.8 + 4.2 = 9

BIMETALIC STRIP.


A BIMETALLIC STRIP is two different metals that a fussed together. When heated one metal will expand faster than the other causing the strip to bend.these are found in thermostats.

Infared Thermogram

An infared thermogram is a camera that can take a picture of the heat given off an object. The temperatures are different colors. If there is red it's hotter, if it is blue it's colder.

Spellimg

Odsy I have a spelling test on unit 3 today

Spelling

In spelling this week i learned how to spell invisible. Invisible means not able to see.

Temperature and Heat

Temperature- is a measurement Of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material.
Heat- is speed and mass

Unit Rates

A unit rate is a rate with a one as the denominator. Here is an example 2:1 or 6:1 see the one is a denOminator

Bimetallic Strip

Two different metals are fused together.When.heated one metal will expand faster than the, other causing the strip to bend.these are found in thermostats,round thermometer.

Unit Rates

A Unit rate is a rate in which the rate is expressed as a quantity of 1. example: if a car goes 60km a hour the unit rate is 60. Q&A: question:If Bobby bought 2.5 Kgs of rice for $7.5, then what is the unit price of rice?Answer: Here the denominator should be 2.5 Kg and numerator is the price $7.5. The unit price of rice would thus be 7.5/2.5 = 3 $/Kg.

Spelling

This week in spelling we did book covers for our door because February is I love to read month. I chose the book by Rick Riordan the son of Neptune

Ratio

On friday we are having a test one ratios and rates. Ratio: A ratio compairs quantities and numbers. Example: there are 10 boys and 5 girls so the ratio is 10:5

imgres.jpg
The order of the types of stars are:
(hottest to coolest)
O B A F G K M N

today in math we did a review test. it was all about rates and ratios.

Rates, Ratios, and Proportions


Tomorrow in math class we have a math text. The test is on rates, ratios, and proportions.

proportion

a proportion is a number set up like this 2/3=4/6 and that is what a proportion looks like

unit rate


A unit rate is a rate with 1 in the denominator.

Rates

A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities of different kinds of units. A unit rate is a rate that has 1 as the denominator.
Ex) 75 miles per 1 hour

Here is how to get a unit rate.

Tom paid $738.75 for a 5-night stay in a hotel. How much was the nightly rate?

Right now, the rate is $738.75 / 5 nights. We want to see how one night would cost. To do this, we divide the nights by 5 to make it 1 night. Then we divide the amount by 5 also, and you have your unit rate. The unit rate would look like this = $147.75 / 1 night .

Senate


In this weeks spelling unit there was a word called senate and it means " An essembly or council of citizens having the highest deliberate functions in a government".

Solving Proportions

Janet earns $15.00 in 3 hours cleaning windows. How much should she earn in 15 hours?

$15.00/3 hours
(x3) (x3)
$75.00/9 hours

Janet would earn $75.00 cleaning windows in 15 hours.

RATE


A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities of different kind units. A unit rate is a rate with one in the denominator.

ex.
72 oranges
-------- = 72 oranges per box
1 box

Newspapers


Today in ela everyone got back there newspapers. everyone had to make there own newspaper there had to be a title page, provincial story, local story,national story, sports story, comic, classifieds. All the students were marked on there newspaper.

My essay on dirtbiking

rates

in math we are doing rates a rate is a thing that compares two diffrent things .

Rates

Rates are two quantities being compared. Like lets say it was 50 miles per hour well we are comparing miles and hours. Here is an example 70miles/2 hours. That is not a unit rate a unit rate is a rate with one as the denominator. So this is it 60 miles per hour

Ratios

The other day we learned about ratios. Ratios are easy.This is an example of a ratio; 5:8. This is comparing girls to boys in a classroom. so there would be 5 girls in the classroom and 8 boys. Here's another example; if there is 2 burgers and 6 hot dogs what would the ratio be? 2burgers to 6hotdogs. we can reduce this ratio to 1bugrer:3hotdogs.

Science

This week in science we learned what the word thermometers means.
Thermometers- device used to meausre temperature. Thermos- hotness in greek
Thermos+meter=hotness meter

Spelling Unit 21

This week in spelling We have the word succession. Succession has one other word form and that is Succeed. The meaning for succession is: To achive something desired or tries

Rate

In math we learned about rate:
-Rate is a ratio that compares two quantities of different units.
-Unit Rate is a rate in which the second term is 1.

Example: $1.25/5pounds = $0.25/1pound

Solutions

In science, we are learning about solutions. There are three types of solutions:
Saturated-can not dissolve any more into the solute
Unsaturated-can dissole more into the solute
Supersaturated-has to much dissolved into the solute

3 types of Solutions

Saturated- Cannot dissolve anymore into the solute
Unsaturated-More can be dissolved into the solute
Supersaturated-Has to much dissolved into the solute.

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Solutions


There are 3 kinds of solutions and they are called
Saturated- cannot dissolve anymore solute
Unsaturated-can dissolve more solute into the solution
Supersaturated-has too much solute in it

Equivalent Ratios

When you have equivalent ratios you just either multiply or divide each number by the same number. So if you have 2:3 it would be 4:6 or if you had 6:8 it would be 3:4 because I divided it by 2.

Illusion that makes everything bigger!
this is how you do ratios


Factional Distillation

Petroleum is refined using the process of fractional distillation. It is a process where petroleum is vaporized and cooled. As it cools different products condense in a cooling tower and are collected and processed.

This is how to do a proper jump shot.

Math

Today in math we learned how to change improper fractions to mixed numbers.
For example: 5/4
To change 5/4 into an improper fraction you would have to see how many times goes into 5. So that would be once
1
then u would have to see how many are left over. That would also be 1. And the denominator stays the same.
So now that would be 1 1/4

percent to decimal

in math today we were learning about changing percent to decimal when you change a percent like 75% you divide by 100 and it equals 0.75

Percent to Decimals

To change a percent to a decimal you divide by 100, or just move the decimal 2 places to the left. See 76% divided by 100= 0.76

Percents as Fractions and Decimals

To change a percent into a decimal, all you have to do is divide the percent by one hundred.
Eg) 56% / 100 = 0.56
To change a percent into a fraction, you have to know that the word 'percent' means out of one hundred. So when you change the percent, you write the percent over one hundred. After you have done that, you reduce the fraction.
Eg) 56% = 56/100 = 27/50
