Science 8

Today we completed the practical portion of Lab 7-4 on page 256 in your textbook. Next class we will complete the written lab report.

Science 8 (Blocks 4/3)

We worked hard today on the foundational skills of a proper lab report.
Students wrote conclusions using the ABCDE scientific paragraph outline, and then workshopped and edited with a partner. They then used the data collected in last class during Lab 7-1 to write a complete lab report - including the finished copy of their ABCDE paragraph.

Today we completed Lab 7-1 on page 247 of your textbook.

Hello Science 8,

Your new teacher is Ms. England and she will be filling in for Ms. Wood for the month of October.

Today we discussed the States of Matter and the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

Your independent work is to read pages 246 - 249 in your textbook and complete the Reading Check questions #1-5 on page 249.

Today we did some quick questions on scientific method.  Make sure you can identify the dependent and independent variables as well as the control if you are given an example of an experiment.

Next we finished off our power point notes on science and the scientific method.  Go back to September 11 to get a link to these notes if you are missing them.   

Next we did a lab looking at different factors that affect the speed of a reaction.  What can make the iodine clock reaction speed up or slow down?  Make sure this lab is complete along with the ABCDE paragraph conclusion.  Here is a reminder of what your conclusion should look like.

Today we made a graph on excel to show the change in mass and length of our gummy bears in different solutions.   We are almost done the never ending lab!  Only the conclusion is left.
