Great job on your slowest fluids this week! We will have 4 full blocks next week to work on the write up for this assignment. Please make sure to have the assignment hand out and rubric to help guide you next week.
After roughly 35 minutes!
On your marks...
Congratulations to Lucas, Arden & Josh in 8-4 with their secret solute of pancake mix and to Noah, Avi and Matthew D in 8-3 for their molasses mixture.
Honorable mention to those fluids that didn't cross the finish line. Perhaps if we had more time?
We begin creating and testing on Monday!! I will have your solvent and first solute option available for you. You should be ready to go Monday with your "secret" solute. We will be mixing and testing right away.
Reminders: No Xanthan Gum or hazardous materials!
I am so excited to see what you come up with and I'm looking forward to the race on Thursday! I'll be sure to have extra "scaries" on hand for the winners.
I have attached a link with the solutions to the review booklet. I will post them in the classroom as well on Monday as the screenshots are a little difficult to read.
Please start brainstorming ideas for your 3D sculpture! We will be starting right away constructing nets and building on Monday. Please feel free to print any nets at home and bring in card stock if you'd like!
Here are the slides from Compressibility today. The Check & Reflect questions on the last slide are due for tomorrow (Friday) if you didn't finish them in class.
This week (when we haven't been too busy missing Mr. I), we have been discussing properties of fluids. In particular, density! We will be finishing up this unit with buoyancy and compressibility and then that's a wrap on Mix and Flow! Ask your parents if they can rank our five fluids in order of density!
Reminder that the L-Shape Surface Area work sheet is due tomorrow. You will have tomorrow's entire period for work on Volume.
UPCOMING - Math unit test on Wednesday next week (3D view, nets, surface area, volume etc) and the following week you will have your Mix and Flow Unit Test. In the meantime, its not all nasty tests! We have a couple of fun projects coming up too!
Density of Coke vs Diet Coke
I added Ms. MacNicol's photo because hers is better haha.
I am going to switch my homework help lunch from Wednesday to Monday in hopes that I can see more of your lovely faces. I know there is a conflict with Open Gym Wednesdays at lunch and that is important too!!
Hope to see you Wednesdays Mondays at lunch if you need any additional support! :-)
Some photos from our crystallization lab yesterday! We had some obstacles to overcome in 8-4 but I can't wait to see what our crystals look like tomorrow!
So... someone decided to show up a little bit earlier than expected. Mrs. Pedersen will be in for me on Tuesday. Just keep working away at your Meiji TV projects. Once you finish them up, you can put the file in your shared folder and I'll try to get them marked before I come back.
No longer practice Dad Joke: Mrs. Ibbitson: "Why is there a strange baby in the crib?" Mr. Ibbitson: "You told me to change the baby."
So we've moved on into the Meiji Era now! We started exploring some of the massive changes that took place after Japan began opening up to the world again. We just started working on our Meiji TV projects where we will be creating television shorts set during the Meiji period, imagining what life would have been like if they had access to Television 150 years ago.
Practice Dad Joke for the week: What did the turkey say to the computer? "Google Google Google"
Thank you to everyone who brought in mason jars. We have enough for our lab next week.
In science we were in the lab today looking at temperature and the solubility of salt. We will have our entire science block tomorrow to work on the Lab Report.
Reminder that there will be a quiz on Surface Area on Thursday and I will be available tomorrow after school or during lunch on Wednesday for any support or questions.
Great job on the mythology presentations everyone! They were a ton of fun to watch, and it was nice to get a feel for everyone's presentation and speaking skills. The Letters to the Shogun are looking good too. Please remember to get those to me ASAP if you haven't handed them in yet.
Also, just a quick reminder that the fees for the Camp Chief Hector trip finally made their way up onto the CBE accounts recently.
So we continued our exploration of how Japanese society and culture evolved during the period of isolation. Next week we'll finish that up and start looking at how Japan reopened to the world and began a rapid period of industrialization and modernization during the Meiji period.
In case you missed it, here is the documentary we watched on the forging of a Katana.
Practice Dad Joke of the week: What kind of egg did the evil chicken lay? A deviled egg.
