Monday

We checked out out corn syrup egg today. On Thursday it weighed 52 grams after four days in the corn syrup. Today it weighed 95 after four days in water. That was the highest weight of any of the other eggs. We concluded that some of the sugar must have entered the egg.

We learned how to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects. The students used a graduated beaker and water and then measured the volume of four or five different objects. We also measured some regularly shaped objects using the meter stick.

Students have a permission slip to return tomorrow. If it is back on Tuesday they will receive ten points of extra credit!!!!
