Thursday

Today we ended our unit on Life Science and actually began our new unit on Physical Science. We weighed and measured our eggs and learned that the egg in the corn syrup lost liquid, the egg in the plain water gained liquid and the egg in the salt water was 5 grams heavier than the egg in the plain water. We ended up with the salt water egg weighing 91 grams, the plain water egg weighing 85-86 grams and the corn syrup egg weighing 52 grams. In 5th hour we placed the corn syrup egg back in water to see if the osmosis would work again, or if the egg was just too covered with corn syrup to allow osmosis to occur.

Then we started working on the metric system. We watched four short you tube videos, one funny one about the fear of the metric system and then the others introduced the students to measuring, how it came about and why metrics is so convenient.

The only homework would be if a student hadn't finished their reading on E1-E15.
