August 26- The First Friday and a Lab Begins

Announcements- Bring/Buy Googles if you haven't done it yet

Homework- None

Overview:

The first Friday of the 2011-2012 school year starts of with notes and then a BANG. We started of taking notes on basic science that most of us learned in 8th grade. For example, variables and basic experiment proceeder. We taped in all seven of our note pages for the unit and then took some extra notes on specific variables.

Independent- the variable that experimenter is changing (light, temperature, location, ext.)

Dependent- the variable that can be measured (distance, health, size, ext.)

Control- the elements in the experiment that stay the same and stay constant

After notes we started an experiment that nearly gave me a heart attack. We added seltzer tablets to film canisters filled with water. The tablets created gas bubbles and if the seal of the canister we tight then when the bubbles built up the canister popped. It was quiet scary and we made many dents in the ceiling.

The next scribe will be .................... Izzy R.!! Wooh!
