I’m so excited!!!

16. Station 1
At this station we will test your skills of measurement. As a group, you will measure each object using the correct metric units and solve the volume for each. Record your answers on your answer sheet. Remember to show your work and your UNITS!
Best of luck,
Mrs. Kurtishi 

17. Station 2
Greetings,
At this station you will be put to the test on how well you know your math; since you know math and science are like brother and sister. You will be solving the volume of each object. Record your answers on your answer sheet. Remember to show your work and your UNITS!
Good day,
Mrs. Kurtishi 

18. Station 3
Welcome!
Glad to see you’re still going strong! Station 3 and 4 go together. You will practice reading and using a graduated cylinder and you will practice finding the volume of irregular objects. You will have 7 objects to complete at this station. The remainder of the objects will be completed at station 4.
You’ll do great,
Mrs. Kurtishi 

19. Station 4
Howdy!
Let’s practice our skills on finding volume of irregular objects. This station is part two of station 3. You will find the volume of 8 objects and complete the rest at station 3.
Keep going strong,
Mrs. Kurtishi 

20. Station 5
Sweetness!
Yum! Yum! Everyone needs a little suga’ in their lives. You will be working with your group to create a rectangular prism using all 36 cubes. Once you have created a prism and recorded your answers on your answer sheet, you will be challenged to continue creating prisms using all 36 cubes but they can’t be repeated. (Look at your answer sheet for more specific directions)
Remember, you never eat in a lab,
Mrs. Kurtishi 

21. Station 6 The best for last,
This station you will complete three practice worksheets labeled in your packet. You may work with each other and use your notes if you need to refresh your memory. Don’t worry you will do all the other stations as well.
