Science Quiz and Math Quiz Tomorrow!

Hi Class! Don't forget, you have a science quiz and a math quiz tomorrow. You also have an oral interview exam. For homework this weekend, you had math problems AND you also need to read at LEAST 4 stories on RazKids for your reading plan! Don't forget! Your reading comprehension exam is on Wednesday, so if you read lots of stories on RazKids it will help you study!

For your science quiz, make sure you know these things:
1. The definition of light.
2. Make sure you can draw the electromagnetic spectrum.
3. You should know about the different kinds of waves... radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, UV-rays, and x-rays. Make sure you know that radio waves are the biggest and x-rays are the smallest! (Which means that x-rays have MORE energy than radio waves!!)
4. You also need to know properties of light *like, we can feel it, it travels really fast, stuff like that.)
5. You need to know the differences between a laser and a regular light bulb.
6. You need to know the differences between opaque, translucent, and transparent. You also need to know what refraction and reflection are.
7. You need to be able to draw a picture of a concave lens and a convex lens.

For your math quiz, you need to be able to do these problems:
1. Write a numerical expression for this problem: "Mr. Carson divides 28 chairs into 4 equal rows."
2. Write an algebraic expression for this problem: "At a bus stop, 8 of the 33 people on the buss got off the bus and OTHER people got on."
3. Solve: 45 - 7 + 5
4. Solve: (6+3) x 3
5. Solve: 4 + n x 8 (if n=5)
6. Solve: 8 + 2t (if t = 9)
7. Solve to find n: 5 x (8 + 3) = (5 x 8) + (5 x n)
8. Solve to find f: f - 8 = 17
9. Solve to find p: 5 + p = 16
10. Look at Sets G and H on page 121 in your math book. I might put a problem from Set G on the quiz!

*Hint: I am going to put up the answers to these problems at 7 p.m. tonight!

For your Oral Interview, you will need to answer questions LIKE these...
1. Describe your favorite food.
2. Tell me about your favorite television show.
3. What is something you would like to change in 5th grade? Explain.
4. What is something you learned about in science this term? How could you use that information in the future?
5. Compare Bogota and Medellin. Which city is better? Why? (Or Cali and Pereira...)
6. Imagine you won one a free trip to anywhere in the world. Where would you go?
7. Your family wants to buy a new car. What kind of car should they buy? Why would that be a good choice?
8. Is it better to have a lot of money, but have to work all the time, or is it better to be poor but to have lots of time to spend with your family? Why?
