Good afternoon Hornets!<\/p>\n
This was a fun filled week of interactive lab investigations as well as the Jim Jones Basketball assembly.<\/p>\n
We started off the week on Monday spending the day checking our homework of page 14a and 14b of our interactive science notebooks. \u00a0Students had to classify a list of examples as physical or chemical changes. \u00a0Students also had to develop a reason\u00a0why<\/strong> the example was a physical or chemical change. \u00a0After we classified matter as either change, we developed a T-chart of evidences to look for in the lab when we are observing either change.<\/p>\n Tuesday-Wednesday we conducted an experiment of 6 different activities. \u00a0Each activity students had to read a list of 2-3 short directions of what to do. \u00a0Then students would observe the matter change and classify it as either physical or chemical change. \u00a0Some of the activities included observing what happens to a candle wick when we burn the candle, or observe what happens to the wax (physical or chemical change). \u00a0Another activity included crushing a sugar cube and deciding what type of change it was, burning sugar in a test tube and observing the color and smell change.<\/p>\n Thursday we had the Jim Jones assembly during 2nd and 3rd hour. \u00a0Other hours watched a Bill Nye the Science Guy video on Chemical Reactions and had a video worksheet to go with it consisting of 15 questions.<\/p>\n Friday- I conducted two demonstrations as part 2 of the lab we did earlier this week on Tuesday-Wednesday. \u00a0First demonstration was making iodine clock. \u00a0Students observed me mix different types of chemicals in a beaker and watch the dramatic and unexpected color change. \u00a0Students were able to tell that it was a chemical change because there was an unexpected color change within the substance. \u00a0The second demonstration was making elephant toothpaste. \u00a0Students observed hydrogen peroxide, water, yeast, dish soap, and food coloring mix in a beaker. \u00a0The chemicals mixing caused gas bubbles to be released and the substance poured out of the beaker kind of like a volcano. \u00a0Students were able to classify the substance as a chemical change and give reasoning based on the evidence we charted out on Monday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Things to consider:<\/p>\n Next week we have the 7th grade field trip on Tuesday. \u00a0Make sure all permission slips\/money are turned in. \u00a0Also please make sure to remind your child that we are proud hornets. \u00a0We represent Woodworth Middle School everywhere we go. \u00a0It is important that we are respectful to places that welcome us, staff members, and any volunteers. \u00a0It is important that students follow directions so we can have more reward opportunities in the future and everyone is safe.<\/p>\n This upcoming Wednesday is late start day. \u00a0Students start at 9am instead of 8am!<\/p>\n Friday will be the first bellwork quiz for this second part of the unit Matter and Its Interactions. \u00a0Make sure students are doing their daily bellwork, checking their answers, and studying at home as well to prepare for the quiz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good afternoon Hornets!
