this week we started physics on tuesday. On wendsday fins sister came in and we did an experemt involving a basketballl and telescopes made out of paper. it showed that as a object m oveds closer to u facing directly at you it looks like the object gets colser and as it moves away on an angle it gets farther away. Thursday we took a test for fins new tet book. Friday we did a lab based on 8 pictures ans that is also our home work it was about how thinks occur and how we and people in the picture

Whendsdasy we did a flow chart and we were introduced to protons electrons and nutrons and how these things can make up things. Yesterday we started too do a lab with minerals and their hardness and we carried it into today. We used Talc corundum calcite florite feldsfar apatite quartz gypsum.

This week

This week we had a test on the unit of rock formation. Finley was out for that. After that we headed on studying rocks. We did an experement with looking at rocks that were the same types. We had to disquinguish the rocks and describe it. rocks cryatalize larger when they take longer to cool rather than when it cools quickly the cryatlas are really small that was basically our week

The Week

This week we leared about crystals and rocks. We did an experement wit cryatalization to see if our class hypothisis of crystals form biger when a rock cools slower than faster. In our experement we had moth balls and we melted them... We put them in different cups in diffrent cooling places. One in a cool area where that would resmeble where the rock would cool faster. Another in a room temp. area to see a mix of cool and warm and lastly a hot area to show the rock cooling faster. the next day we saw that the cooler area had tiny crystals the area of room temp. had a decient sixe crystals lastly the warmer area had the biggest cryatals. So we proved our hypothisis correct.. Lastly in the week we began a lab on rocks and trying t distinguish one type from the other. Some trays had the same types. Some rocks wrer very light some crystaly, some layerly. We've yet to finish it.

Week after X-mas

This week we started to talk about heat and 3 types of heating sourses. Conduction Convexion and Radiation. Monday we started to review review heating because we were off for holiday break. Tuesday we learned about convexion and that oven mitts are only ventelators to protect your extremities from the potentual dangers from the heat. We also learned about how when you put a spoon up to a burner that the paritcles heat up and warm up the spoon and you feel the heat.



Wendsday we learned about lava lamps and that when they get lifted by the particles It falls down. On thursday mr.finley was out and we reviewed this. Friday we took a quis and chilled out
