weekend reminders & string art

Small Steps plot diagram prezi due Monday Jan 14th.  You are to email me the link to your prezi.  Compare it to my example so nothing is missing.

Mini science lab - separating mechanical mixture due Monday Jan 14th.  email ms word file for me to print.

Monday we're going to correct 3.2 mechanical mixture checking your understanding and mix it up - have it completed (it's up on the blog Jan 7)  Attempt to copy & paste into MS Word.

Great job on string art fun!!!

mini science lab pg.61 text

Separate a mechanical mixture by dissolving & filter

Purpose:
In this experiment I will determine how to separate a mechanical mixture of salt and pepper by dissolving and using a filter.

Hypothesis:
If I make a mixture of salt, pepper and warm water and pass it through a paper coffee filter, then I think I will separate...by...

Observations:

Analysis:
answer A,B,C

Conclusion:
what did you learn about separating a mechanical mixture?
how accurate was your hypothesis?

mini science lab prep

Refer to yesterday's science notes on blog about using sieves/filters & dissolving to separate the components of a mechanical mixture.

Bring in a spoonful of salt, a spoonful of pepper, 2 clear plastic cups and a paper coffee filter to conduct the mini lab which involves filtering and dissolving the parts of a mechanical mixture on page 61 of your text.  I'll bring in materials as well.


Refer to your previous science lab to follow the write-up format (purpose, hypothesis...observations, analysis, conclusion)
