Now that I am a science teacher I am finding ways to use physical activity to connect the learning in physical science.

Find The Square Footage Of The Blacktop

Today's journal entry and ticket to play was to find the square footage for the blacktop. Students were given the dimensions of the blacktop. Students have to show work.
Next we will figure out how many gallons of black paint to repaint the black surface. From the Home Depot calculator 1 gallon of paint covers 350 square feet of surface.
