Today we finished our Heat Absorption lab by collecting the data and graphing it. Hopefully you were able to get the questions done during class, but if not it is due tomorrow. We also continued with presentations on Hurricanes and some class periods were able to make it to Tornadoes. Make sure you have watched the 'winds' edpuzzle as we will be going over this tomorrow. HW: Finish Heat Absorption Lab Turn in Field Trip permission forms and money!

Today we had a little fun with the vacuum chamber where we took the air out of objects and added it back in. If you can think of anything to try, bring it in tomorrow! We also took a quiz on air masses and fronts. We also started on presentations for our Hurricane projects. Make sure you have filled out this section in your Storm Book that we made yesterday.
HW: Winds Edpuzzle Make sure your sand and water lab sheet is all filled out for tomorrow! Whew, it was great to be back with you guys today! We turned in our projects and also discussed global warming and the greenhouse effect. We completed a double bubble comparing the two, but know that the greenhouse effect causes global warming if we have too much of it. We also made our STORM BOOKS in preparation for the storm project presentations which will start tomorrow. If you did not finish your storm book, remember that the first section is for hurricanes, the second for tornadoes, then thunderstorms, and blizzards on the back page. For each section, you must have the following spaces so you can fill this out as classmates present: Causes Effects Air Masses Fronts Where it happens the most Interesting Facts HW: Make sure you have your sand and water lab sheet ready to go for us to start our lab tomorrow Study for a quick air masses and fronts quiz Winds edpuzzle is due WEDNESDAY!
Ms. Dudek was out again today with the flu but hopefully this gave you much needed time to work on your Storm Project. Again, you may use www.floorplanner.com or any other website to help you come up with a blueprint of your building if you chose not to do an actual model. Make sure that you have TRIPLE checked your rubric and your planning sheet to make sure you have met all the requirements. HW: Storm project!! Have a great break :)
Well today the inevitable happened and Ms. Dudek was out with the flu :(
Fortunately this gave you time to work on your projects with the sub in the computer lab. You are able to use www.floorplanner.com to use as a blueprint maker online to use for your model if you decide NOT to make an actual model. Remember to follow the rubric and make sure that ALL of the requirements are met in order to receive maximum points. This project is due 2/26, which is the Monday we get back from break. HW: Work on project! Today we went over air masses and fronts! We also watched a study jam to explain this, and also started our heat absorption lab write-ups. HW: Finish your 1st page of your lab sheet for heat absorption Bring your items for your project in order to complete your research in the computer lab tomorrow
Hope you guys enjoyed your wak-a-packs! Here is the chemical formula that is already balanced in case you are curious :)
H3C6H5O7(aq) + 3NaHCO3(aq) --> Na3C6H5O7(aq) + 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) (citric acid) (sodium bicarbonate)... (trisodium citrate)
Today we went over heat transfer and the three ways heat is transferd from one place to another. We also made a flip page to illustrate this! We also got our Storm Project sheets which we will work on in the computer lab on Thursday. If you were out, please DO NOT start on this as you have been assigned a specific type of storm.
HW: Air Masses and Fronts Edpuzzle Storm Projects will be due 2/26 (Monday after break) Mercedes Benz field trip forms and money should be turned in ASAP!!
Today we took a short quiz on air composition and air pressure. We also completed some air pressure practice and even a short air pressure lab. Crazy how pressure can change things! HW: Finish your air pressure lab sheet if you didn't in class Air Masses and Fronts Edpuzzle is due WEDNESDAY
Today we discussed air pressure and how that affects weather and wind. We also finished listening to Ian Stewart about some cool things that happen in our atmosphere :) HW: Air quiz on MONDAY, all notes are fair game from Unit 7!
