Finally, we practiced some scientific method and used THIS sheet to go over terms and steps of the scientific method. Next we did a lab to measure how fast a candy coating would dissolve.
Today we got our course outlines. Next we filled out a student survey for me to get to know you. Finally we played a name game where we learned a little bit about each of our classmates.
Homework due on Friday: Find a picture in the textbook that speaks to you for some reason. Tell me the page number and why this picture speaks to you. What thoughts, emotions or memories does it bring up? This is due on Friday.
Next we did the lab on page 301 looking at flow rates of different fluids. We assessed the VISCOSITY of different fluids based on flow rate. This is comparable to different types of lava.
