Lesson 1 - Monday, Feb 12 (All periods)
Focus Question: Why does the temperature of the liquid in some cup systems change more than in others?
What We Did…
Those B period students present for today’s lesson were given time to work on assignments designed to help build their explanatory vocabulary for our recent Cold Cup Investigation:
Exploring Science 8
8Ia – Hot Stuff, pp. 120-121 (1-7)
8Ib – Heating Solids, pp. 122-123 (1-8)
8Ic – Heating Liquids, pp. 124-125 (1-7)
After learning that Dr. Merritt likes to invent new ice cream flavors in his home kitchen, in E period we spent some time trying to figure out how refrigerators (but also freezers) work and what’s inside of the Igloo water in the classroom.
Because so many G period students were absent, we played Kahoot! and challenged ourselves to identify different fruits and vegetables (and some modern cartoon characters!).
