Physics – Human Density Lab

PHYSICS: Just another day in the life of a physics student! Who knew water displacement could be so much fun! 🙂 Thanks Hannah!! Good job moppers, and fillers, and counters, and recorders! Now for the lab report. Remember to include that final question in your conclusion – “So why can or can’t some humans float?” And don’t forget – I’m very, very interested in your experimental design, i. e., how’d you gather your data, how are you presenting your data, sig figs, calculations, etc.

Speaking of labs – I’m looking forward to seeing how close you came to predicting the height of the bouncing ball! Can I trust the validity of your prediction?

Water, water, everywhere! I’ve posted some pics on flickr – click here or below for the link.

Chemistry 8-24-16 Using the Scientific Method

CHEMISTRY – Great review today of the scientific method. I know you’ve heard it for umpteen years, but it is super important that you can APPLY what you’ve learned about the scientific method.

Speaking of that, you’ll have a great chance to practice using the scientific method tomorrow with Ooblek! Make sure you print and read the Oobleck lab sheet and bring it to class tomorrow!

Speaking of homework – the work from the textbook can be done with the online textbook. Do it on notebook paper, and you can use the back. Just make sure you number going down and not across, and skip a line between each question. Be sure and turn it in at the beginning of class tomorrow.

So do animals use the scientific method? Hmmm…..
