Science 8

Today in our double block we:
1) Went over the instant practice pg. 476
2) Took notes on the Scientific Method
3) Using the Scientific Method we did our first experiment to see if soap will affect the surface tension of water.  We used an interesting method of counting how many drops a penny will hold.
4) We did a class challenge to see if we could match the names of lab equipment to the apparatus. 
5) We did a questionnaire to find out how we learn best.  Stay tuned for some analysis of our results

Science 8

Today we went through the course outline and classroom expectations.   Get this signed for homework!

Next we did a quick experiment with a partner:  How can you float a paper clip in a beaker of water?   Stay tuned for how we will use this info to look at the scientific method. 

Finally we had a quick safety in the Science Lab discussion.
