EARTH SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS

The students have been learning the physical laws that we will be using in earth science this year.  They have been using mnemonic charts to study and memorize the laws.  We have had experiments in class to demonstrate the concepts.

The first set of experiments demonstrated the molecular movement of substance at differing temperatures.  Here are Olivia Carrino and Bailey Moss assisting me with an experiment called, "Mix It Up."


 



The second set of experiments demonstrated the relative densities of substances.  We made a rainbow with liquids of different densities.




Then I made a "Genie in a Bottle" using hot and cold water.

The last experiment dealt with a "Mysterious Candle," that really ended up to be "Mysterious Medium!."
The size of the candle did not effect its density, but it floated in the water and sank in the alcohol because of the differing densities of the liquids.

I'm looking forward to a lot more experiments and experiences this year.

See you at PTF meeting, Monday, September 15th, 7 P.M.
