Wednesday- We will begin to look at chapter 6 in the textbook. You will need a science textbook and all questions must be completed in proper order.

To-do list:

1. Who was Blaise Pascal and what impact did he have on the scientific world? 2. What is a pascal (Pa)? 3. A kPa is equal to how many Pa? 4. Answer the "What Did You Find Out" questions on page 165. 5. How are pressure and the Particle Theory connected? 6. Define compressibility. 7. Continue to work on questions 1-4 below if needed. If that section is completed, you may continue to research for your speech.

Warm-up:

Why is fish often referred to as brain food? [|This article] is a good place to start reading on the topic. We will discuss these findings as our warm-up for class.

Science Recap:

Today we will discussing and researching with a focus being on reviewing what we have done.

Your assignment is as follows:

1. Make sure that your "Penny Boat Challenge" write-ups are handed in. 2. Make a list of 5 situations in which buoyancy is important to you. Please explain why buoyancy is critical to what you wish to accomplish. 3. In the "Penny Boat Challenge", which design of boat had the most success? Why do you think this is so? Please do not refer to the boats with more than 10 sheets of foil. :-) 4. On p. 160 of your textbook, please answer the following: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 14, 15, 16.


 * Reminder: Please hand in your write-ups asap!!!**

Bill Nye, "The Science Guy", investigates buoyancy in the clips below. I want you to take notes and think about your "Penny Boat" experiment write-ups as you watch. The video clips will provide helpful information and resources to help you complete the write-ups properly.

The Penny Boat Challenge

This morning we will be having our "Penny Boat Challenge" in the cafeteria. I know that the class will have a lot of fun doing this. I ask that you follow the directions for the challenge and that you behave as you normally would in class. I will be placing you in groups, so please pay close attention to the instructions.



Good afternoon grade 8, we need to do a little prep work to get us ready for the "Penny Boat Challenge". Please complete the questions below to get started. You must show this work to me, completed, before you begin working on your boats.




 * Experiment Assignment**

The experiment may be found [|here.]

Your assignment may be found below.



When you are writing up your report, I want you to tell me about your findings. I want you to explain what you figured out, what conclusions you were able to acquire. For example, I want you to tell me what happened when heat was increased or decreased. I do not want you giving me detailed information about each and every test.

If it helps, think about our experiment about why 8A seems to be tired each day at school. When we wrote up the experiment we mentioned how the students tend to have distractions in their rooms that keep them up and that diet may play a role in the fatigue. We did not mention that 17 students have a TV in their rooms, or that 15 students have an mp3 player in their rooms.

Please remember that this is due by the end of period 5 and that I am here to guide you.

Good luck!

To begin, let's take a look at what is involved/expected when writing up the results of an experiment.

Chapter 5: Density and Buoyancy



Follow up assignment:

Please answer questions 1,2,3,5, & 6 on p. 136 of your textbook. These answers should be saved with your other science questions from chapter 4.

We will begin this new unit by looking at [|the Particle Theory.] Let's take a closer look.



Up next? [|viscosity.]



Your job now is to create a list of low viscosity fluids and a list of high viscosity fluids. To help you out, please remember our discussion in class. IN YOUR NOTEBOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, period 5

To-do list:

1. Answer questions 1-7 on p. 116 in your Science textbooks. **Your answers must be in sentence format.** 2. Complete the "Word Connect" question on the same page as # 1. 3. Answer questions 1-5 on p. 122. 4. Read the article on p. 125 and answer the questions. 5. You need to make sure that the "Halifax Explosion" webquest and the "My Name is Osama" assignments are finished. 6. If time, try your hand at [|punctuation paintball.]
