Option #1

Persuasion Is All Around You

You might be surprised at how many people and businesses are trying to convince you to do things everyday.  You only have to watch commercials, read the paper, look at the ads in your magazines or read the billboards as you are on the way home to see that persuasion is all around you.

For your homework, you are to find a persuasive piece to bring to share about in class.  It can be an article in the paper, a letter to the editor, a movie or book review, a commercial or an advertisement in a magazine or newspaper.  Once you have found your persuasive piece, answer the questions below:

1.    Where did you find your persuasive example?

2.    Who is trying to persuade you?

3.    What are they trying to persuade you to do?

4.    Do you think their argument is convincing?  Why or why not?

#2 Chemical and Physical Science Alphabet Key

Find a word for each letter of the alphabet that relates to chemical and physical science.


#3 Science in the Home

During this week you are to look around your house for at least 20 different objects that you can scientifically categorise.  You should determine whether each item is a Solid, a Liquid or a Gas.  Next to each object you should give a brief explanation as to why you believe the item is this particular state of matter.
