WELCOME BACK 6A/6B...AND I'D SAY A PRETTY GOOD DAY AT THAT!

HOMEWORK:
  • Math: finish those OPERATIONS booklets and make corrections from today's class...remember you have a test on Wednesday!
  • Science: Try one of the three Bill Nye do-at-home air experiments tonight and post your results on the blog! (the air exchange in the underwater cups, the hot air bag, and the hot and cold colored water)

REMINDERS:

  • New scholastic book orders
  • wear red (heart and stroke), pink (anti-bullying) or both on Wednesday
  • are you submitting a name and colors for the new high school? I'll need those by Wednesday to give to Kels!
  • are you thinking about what to get for Mrs. R?
  • Badminton try-outs and club starting soon....
  • have you purchased your SNOOPY tickets yet? Better hurry if you want one...

BLOG ANSWER:

  • Save-On-Foods has the best deal by 1 cent because you have to round it. $5.10 divided by 4 equals $1.275 so I rounded it to $1.28. Safeway is a $1.29 a pound so that is a difference by 1 cent....thanks Kelsey!

BLOG QUESTION:

  • Which Bill Nye demo did you try and what happened?

STUDENT PARKING LOT:

  • Geronimo...I think you asked what we are doing tomorrow? We are finishing the Math booklet corrections (you'll need yours!), doing a fun word problem in 2's, learning more about fluids and the rest you'll have to see...

i tried the hairdryer and garbage bag demo and when the hot air went in the bag, the cold air was forced out and since hot air rises, whenn the bag was full of hot air, the bag rose like a hot air balloon when i turned the hairdryer off.

Hey Mrs.V
i tried the hairdryer demo and the air lifted the box with the hole in it and it was really cool.
i wish that i could make a big one and move around on it i think that would be a cool way to move around and to get to places so it would not hurt the environment.
:)
See you soon

Hey Mrs.V
The experiment that i did was the one with two glasses and the bucket of water and then you put one under water and it makes like an air pocket and then you put the other one under and then you switch water from each glass and my results were just like Bill Nye's. See you tomorrow.

Hi Mrs.V!

I tried two expireiments:

The one with the 2 jars and card.
It didn't really work for some reason, I don't know why.

I also tried the 2 cups in a bucket of water. I wasn't sure if I was doing it right, Though.

I would have tried the thrid one, but I couldn't remember it.

See you tommorow!!!!!!
