Scientific Observations- Skill Lab 1

Students looked did the lab to see what will happen.

Data:

1. 21 Degree Celsius
2. Blue Crystals
3. Green Crystals
4. Dissolving
5. Bottom warmer and the top is cooler on the outside of the beaker
6. 20 Degree Celsius
7. Fern Blue
8.The foil will make it hotter
9. 21 Degree Celsius
10. The Aluminum  melted
11. Color of water is red
12. Water is coming out clear from the filter
13.Bubbing in the flame hood
14. Color if the test tube is yellow from the fan
15.Warm
16.Warmer than before

Questions:

1. The water turned blue because of the Copper Chloride.
2. The solutions dissolved.
3.The foil melted because of the heat.
4. It made it rise when the foil left overs where in it.
5. It was blue at the end because all the solutions.

Oreo Cookie Lab

Students measured the filling in three types of Oreo Cookies to determine if filling amounts matched the advertising. The independent variable is three types of Oreos.

 Hypothesis: Mega stuff has less stuffing than the double stuff.

Method:
1. We peeled off the middle part
2. Measured the mass from the mega, double and single stuff
3. Then we used the triple beam balance to measure the mass 4. We recorded the data that we got from the triple bean balance


Data Table:  
                             Elements   Planets  Cars        Disney   Presidents   Ratio (cars)
Original:              3.27 g       4.35 g      3.129 g    11.1 g     2.85 g        1 : 1
Double Stuff        6.17 g        6.3 g      6.480 g   11.3 g      6.33 g          2.07 : 1
Mega Stuff:          8.96 g       9.04 g     9.35 g     17.7 g      8.90 g       2.99  :  1

Conclusion: The mega stuff ended up weighing more.

Week 1:

I have gained information on what I did not know this week. In the Bowling ball lab we measured the circumference, the radius, the volume, mass and density of the red, green and orange bowling balls. We gained information of what we didn’t know if they would sink or float. We worked as a class to see if they would sink or float. All of the bowling balls did different things from floating to sinking.

In the gummy bear lab we worked in partners for this experiment. We had to see what color it was, the length, height, width, mass, volume, and the density. We gained skills and practice on density and the other things we were studying this week. It was a fun experiment and it was fun to get practice. I would recommend this experiment and I learned new information.

Why Study Science?

Why I took this course?

I have to take it to be able to graduate. The teacher is kind. I want to learn more about the topics that we will learn.  I will know more than what I know about science. To gain information that I didn't know anything about.
