Here is the scoop for the week:
MONDAY:
7th: Today we went over the change in Mass of Salt when you dissolve it in water. We will look at the data further at the end of the week. Here's something to think about: The bottle was sealed the whole time after you added the salt!
TUESDAY:
7th: Today in our double I introduced the Independent Project (IP). Remember, the project must use an experiment to ANSWER A QUESTION!! Mentos in Coke is really cool, but it only makes a mess. You must be able to collect data and prove or disprove a hypothesis. We also heated Copper (Cu) and Sulfur (S) mixture in a sealed test tube (TT) to see if the mass changed. Again, consider the idea that the TT was sealed the whole time during the experiment! We will examine this data later in the week and compare it to Monday's lab.
HOMEWORK: Come up with 5 questions that you might like to examine for your IP.
8th: Whoa! A whole new chapter on the Skeletal System. Today we talked about: Functions of the SS, Body Orientation, and Types of Bones.
HOMEWORK: Color both sides of the handout.
WEDNESDAY:
8th: Today we went over all of the bones of the axial skeleton: skull, vertebrae, ribs/sternum, and pelvic girdle. Go over this information for the quiz on Friday!
THURSDAY:
7th: We will go over the data from the labs on Monday and Tuesday. Can you make a hypothesis on what we will discover?
HOMEWORK: Study for quiz!
8th: We continued to look at the bones of the body. Today we examined the appendicular skeleton - legs, arms and shoulders.
HOMEWORK: Study for quiz! Article on bones due.
FRIDAY:
7th: QUIZ on Histograms and the Data/Conclusions of the two labs from this week.
8th: QUIZ on SS Function, Body Orientation and Major Bones of the body
