The science behind the ice cream lab was mostly the phases of matter watching how liquid turns into a solid. While the liquid ice cream is getting frozen from the ice cream machine, molecules are now pressing together instead of going around freely. In the end the ice cream is frozen with frozen chocolate in it. So,one of our biggest questions is if salt has to be added to make ice cream but you don't technically have to add salt.
This the second time I have worked on the ice cream lab but in this lab I worked with Gabe and Victor as a mentor since I've already had experience on making ice cream. We used a different recipe on making ice cream which I will explain further more into the reflection. We mainly researched how to make ice cream in different ways such as adding salt or no salt or how much of a ingredient measurement we should use to make the perfect ice cream ratio. We got most of the ingredients from vons and the staff kitchen if we ran short on what we thought was enough. We also had to find a bowl big enough for mixing the ingredients and pouring it into the ice cream maker. Ingredients: Acquiring Materials:
After waiting a while for the ice cream to become a little bit frozen we put in the kit kats to add more flavor than vanilla. In the end of the process the ice cream was very sweet and delicious than the previous one I made. The only thing that we should've done better is crushing the kit kats so they would be more combined into the ice cream. With everyone we shared with the they all said they enjoyed the ice cream which was a plus. Looking Back: Our experiment turned out pretty great since it was a simple experiment everything went great according to plan we may have had or made some mistakes but we overcame them such as not having the right sugar and not having enough milk. We thought that one bottle of milk was enough even though I told the guys that it wasn't but in the end we took a little bit of milk from the staff kitchen to fulfill the measurements that we needed . The ice cream worked to the full extent there was no problems with the ice cream at all it was very sweet and delicious. The ice cream looked like white vanilla ice cream with bits and pieces of kit kats in it which was kinda hard to chew since we didn't crush them which originally planned. Looking Beyond: The science behind the ice cream lab was mostly the phases of matter watching how liquid turns into a solid. While the liquid ice cream is getting frozen from the ice cream machine, molecules are now pressing together instead of going around freely. In the end the ice cream is frozen with frozen chocolate in it. So,one of our biggest questions is if salt has to be added to make ice cream but you don't technically have to add salt. Looking Inward: I think we all got desirable results doing this lab with everything turning out good and learning more from it than last time and helping Victor and Gabe make ice cream for the first time. I contributed to this lab by helping select the items and mixing the ingredients to show them how ans then let them work on it themselves and assembling the ice cream maker and also washing some of the dirty dishes once we were done with it. Looking Outward: In this experiment I worked and helped mentor Gabe and Victor throughout the whole process. As group I think we worked really well since we known each other and worked as partners before so that was a plus. We all knew how to tell each other what to do and get it done in time and also make each other stay on focus. Overall i think we helped each other with communication skills and helping one another everyone and then. Looking Forward: If I had to do this again I would go back and crush the kit kats we got to get a better ice cream texture and make it not as hard to chew once we ate it. If i would work on this again i would pick Lydia,Evan and Savreen to work on this lab. If i had to continue working on this lab I would either do a tasting lab to see which one is better non salt or salt ice cream. |

For this experiment we wanted to compare the different ways of how cookies tasted if they are prepared differently. We first research how to make the best cookie and comparing different methods we have looked into by adding salt and different measurements to get the best cookie to ration.
Research Links: Ingredients:
Process: For the process we first mixed all the powdered ingredients together and then added the liquids and the chocolate chips to the mixing bowl, after mixing for about less than 10 minutes since it was getting hard to mix all together since it was turning into raw cookie dough. We then wrapped the first cookie dough we made in plastic wrap to refrigerate to use in the next day. On the next day we did the same process with the same ingredients except this time we didn't refrigerate the cookie we made instead rolled it into little balls and baked them till they were ready. Once the first batch was made we then bake the second batch which is the refrigerated dough. This is where the question comes in handy to see if by doing this if the refrigerated cookie dough would taste any better or different than the non-refrigerated cookie dough. Our lab group did the first taste test to see which one we all preferred and we all voted that we liked the refrigerated cookies more than the non-refrigerated cookies they had a nice crunchy on the outside and melting in the middle that made your mouth water. After we made our votes we took the cookies and asked other students to see which one they preferred and here is the statistics we got. Data: Cookie 1: 3 Cookie 2: 8 Cookie 1 w/chocolate: 2 Cookie 2 w/ chocolate: 3 With the data we collected it is quite clear that the majority of people like the second cookie more than the first with or without chocolate on the top. The science behind this lab is how the refrigerated cookie dough Looking Back: The experiment that we tried out worked great overall having no trouble gathering the materials but just had to make room from our other labs or rockets we had to do and get to work. In the beginning we were kinda in a less organized pattern due to getting all the ingredients together and having enough bowls to mix them with, But once we got the hang of it it helped us by working in sync and each one contributing a part in making the cookies. The second time we were in the process of making the cookie dough we got the job done faster since we already knew what to do. With the cookies and the results we got I think it came out really good maybe great the cookies tasted delicious so that was a plus by trying out this experiment. The cookies had both chocolate and white chocolate in them melting in the inside giving a soft texture. The data we collected really showed the predictable answer of most tasters picking the second cookie as the best choice. Looking Beyond: The science we looked into this lab was if refrigerating cookie made a difference in the "cookie taste" by refrigerating the second batch of cookies made it absorb its taste how the egg hydrates the flour and combines together makes carbohydrates into into simple sugars making it taste sweeter and delicious than the first batch we conducted. The main question that was in my mind is if taste buds affect the way we taste the cookie or if since our group already knew that the second batch of cookies was gonna be the preferred one if that made us jump on the bandwagon making our vote biased. We didn't do any more further investigation other than our data but I would have liked to look into the questions and take a step further into the lab. Looking Inward: Overall as a group and how we made this lab it went great didn't have much trouble doing this lab and getting the job done. The cookies came out to our expectations everything went well all of us contributing and agreeing on most of the decisions. I contributed to the lab by bringing the flour,sugar,and chocolate chips also mixing the ingredients and keeping a eye out of when the cookies are ready. At the end I then washed the dishes that we used so we wouldn't leave a mess in the staff kitchen. Looking Outward: in the group I worked with the people were Savreen,Lydia and Evan. I think we worked good as a group they all have worked together before and I was new to working with them so it was a nice experience having a partner ship with them all. Was very fun working with them and all of us contributing parts o the lab. Looking Forward: If I did this lab what I would change would maybe be a different cookie flavor or have a better way of collecting the data by doing a blindfold test. I would like to keep the same people I worked with and if i wanted to continue this lab again I wouldn't want to unless it had more of a purpose other than taste. |
In the article I read it was about how dogs and humans connect with each other through our eyes. Also stating that dogs and humans have a tendency to gaze at one another unlike any other animal. Dogs are really man’s best friend or humans. The so called puppy help us to bond with each other due to the love or “oxytocin” released between each other dogs tend to use this technique not only with us but also with their mothers when they are puppys making yearning noises to get the mother's attention and also her affection again releasing oxytocin. Oxytocin is described as the love hormone causing each other gain a love for the other person or in this case dog. Dogs and human get each others movements, expressions, and so called language once over time. So it isn't a big shock that it makes us gain a trust and make dogs a family member being described as a “fur baby”. Not only eye contact help with bonding it help with training “showing who's boss” something like that dogs can sense when they did something wrong or rights by our body how our face looks also how the sound of our voice sounds like. Dogs are really intelligwnt creatures that we still need to find out more about.

Looking Back: For this lab we made plastic out of milk with Evan, Savreen, and Lydia. The experiment that we picked was very interesting in a weird way since I thought it wasn't normal or impossible. In the end the experiment was very cool but also stinky, The plastic milk blob mold was very cool but also felt weird and smelled but could form it in many things. Which we did by making the plastic milk into a heart which I think is really cool on how it turn out great in the end.
With all the research we looked up for was the same and helped us a lot. Looking Beyond: For this lab it was actually very easy to gather the materials and to complete this lab work since the instructions weren't that complicated besides mixing all the ingredients. We had vinegar and milk and milk has casein that has molecules that combine with other casein and due to the vinegar makes the milk turn into a blog that smells but also looks some what like cheese. I thought this was very cool to make and to watch two liquids turn into a solid by mixing them together and parting the liquid from the solid and gathering up the solid and forming it together and shaping it into a heart. Looking Inward: Overall I think our group did really good with working together and each of us having a part in this lab, I contributed to this lab by heating up the milk and taking pictures during this whole lab. Getting great results in the end was good and the heart turned in to a plastic substance. We didn't have enough time or so we thought until it went really quick and was fun to work together during this lab. Looking Outward: For my group I worked with Evan, Lydia, and Savreen whom I have never worked with before but I would work with them later on in the semester since I think we worked well together having good communication and taking turns on contributing to the lab. I think we didn't have any problems and did everything correct and nice making our lab a success. Looking Forward: If I had to do this again I would change to have a strainer there to help us set apart the liquid and blob making it more easier and also try to make it a different color with food coloring would be cool to experiment. |

Today we learned about the different layers of the world we live on. The first is the core which is made out of solid iron and nickel and there's is a lot of heat and pressure in the center. Next layer is the outtercore which is made up of liquid iron and nickel. After this layer there is the mantle which is made out of molten rocks (Silicates),there's a lot of silicates in the mantle and if they combine on to the outercore it would make a lot of Metal Silicates. The crust is the last or first layer it changes the way you see the layers and its the outer, Solidified Mantle. Silicates is a combination of Silicons (Si) and Oxygen (O) and about 95% of earth's crust and 97% of earths mantle is made of Silicates. The different layers have different thing that they do that benefit us. The iron core blocks the solar winds or the outercore is made out of liquid. Silicon is also the most abundance element from earth is almost like oxygen bonds well with others (almost all rocks). In the lab we were making rocks or testing the different element combinations so in the first tube we put Calcium Chlorine and it made it turn from white beads into a root looking element growing on the sides of the tube and trying to reach the top. In the second tube it had Cobalt Chlorine this one had a reddish color in the begging and root strings that reached the top since its reaction was more quicker than the others also had much of a color change from blue and purple. In the third tube we put Copper Sulfate its reaction was more slower than the other ones but was still reaching and growing to the top, Its color was blue but a very light blue looked actually pretty. Looking Back: The results of our lab was good in my opinion since it worked it showed what our teacher was trying to teach us. The different tubes were pretty god thought we got good results at the end of this lab Looking Beyond: In our observation we noticed as a group that we had a lot of questions since we focused on the science of the earths layer and not the actual lab. Looking Inward: Doing this lab we got pretty good results with the tubes since they all worked out great. I contributed by taking notes and listening since we did this as a group project. Looking Outward: I worked with my teacher and other fellow students on this guided activity. I overall think our group worked really well together asking questions and helping each other out. Looking Forward: If I could change something in this lab it would be to looking into more of how this is making a rock. I didn't really think we looked into that much. Take Aways: Some pieces of wisdom that i had got from this lab was that Cobalt Chlorine can burn your skin and was wondering why the substance want to reach to the top? |

For another activity we learned how to make "Fake Snow". We used a diaper or what is in the diaper which was sodium polyacrylate and some water. The sodium polyacrylate is a very good absorbing substance that can hold so much water than itself. We measured the substance to 2.87 grams and poured it into a bowl and combined water into it and mixed. At 40m of water the fake snow was very squishy and still liquid. At 60m of water the fake snow was turning gel like. Adding more to 80 and 100m of water the snow was expanding more. Then at 130m the snow was very gel like. After we were done making snow we tried to reverse it to turn the snow back to sodium polyacrylate and water and we did so by adding salt to the fake snow it took a little bit of time but the snow was melting which was really cool to watch.
Looking Back: I think our fake snow experiment went very good with the experiment successfully worked to the full extent. With our final product the fake snow looked like fake snow but wasn't the same texture as snow. It had a white and clear color and little beads feel otherwise it was still very cool to watch the process and make it. Looking Beyond: I think that the science I got out of it was that the little beads that were Sodium Polyacrylate inside the diaper once they got combined with water they would absorb the water inside the bead making it get that clear glass like look from the clear water and feel spongy almost like little bubbles. Looking Inward: I think we got the results that we wanted in the end by putting and testing water with the Sodium Polyacrylate. Testing the different textures from gel like to liquid ad then the right texture. I contributed to this lab by stirring and feeling the snow and also taking notes and listening to the science of making fake snow. Looking Outward: I worked with braden and other fellow students as a big group. I think we worked well as a group sharing out our ideas and paying attention. We contributed to this lab by trying to figure out the science together and making hypothesis. Looking Forward: If I did this lab again I would try to make the snow a different color by adding food coloring to see if it will absorbs the same as water. Take Away: The the information i got from making the fake snow lab had made me be aware that this could be used or is used in many ways. |

For our motor test at the field the motor was pretty good from what people such as teachers were saying and I also noticed it by the smoke and the sound that were heard from the motor. The motor thrust went up to 2372 and it went pretty high and gave off a good thrust I thought. We had to go frame by frame there was about 100 frames our t values were 3.89 and T value was 3.449 and the total thrust was 41074 which is pretty high.
you can watch our edited videos here If I had to change something with the rocket wouldn't change anything since it worked really well compared to others. |

For this guided activity we learned how to make H2O with combustion. A chemical reaction which we figures out is a change of matter where the atoms in one or more substance combine, separate, or rearrange to form one or more new substance. Also focused on atoms and how to tell how many electrons it has by the numbers they have which is shown on the periodic table. While doing a lab you can mix atoms which will combine the two atoms electrons together which will fill the outer shell. The main reason of the lab is to make H2O with a combustion reaction so the substance combine with oxygen to produce water and CO2 so we had
H+H+O -> H2O (2H2+O2 ->2H2O). To see this reaction with our eyes we used Citric Acid and pieces of magnesium and combine them to together with water as well. Once the magnesium was in the flask we had to hurry up and wrap a balloon on top of the opening to seal it. The first thing we noticed that change is the magnesium made the liquid start to bubble and the temperature change getting pretty hot. While this was happening the balloon on top was inflating. Once it had inflated and the magnesium melted we tied it off and the air inside the balloon is lighter than helium so it would float up. We then taped the balloon onto a table setting it on fire and it exploded we watched the flames. |
For our rockets motor design we picked for the core we picked the half cored at 3/16 half at 1/16 since we really wanted to try something new and make our rocket unique from the others. When we introduced our template or sketch of the rocket motor we wanted to make and he questioned it thinking it would blow up but when we tried it out in the field it actually turned out really good with a good thrust curve. The core was made like the others and being narrower and then we picked black powder since it is more efficient and reliable to make the rocket work as much as we wanted it too.

The next project I was working on was building a scratch model rocket with a group which included (Victor and Gabe). In the beginning we had to start with the body of the rocket. So, in order to make a the body we had to get the supplies such as paper a ruler , box cutter and glue. We first cut the paper approximately the same shape and size and taped the first layer onto a tube. We then later glued on the second layer wrapping it around the tube making sure the paper didn't overlap with each other. After waiting for the glue to dry in order to add the third and last layer. Then waited for a while and trimmed the body of the rocket to our liking. After being finished with the body of the rocket we started working on making the fins for the rocket. For my rocket we made the fins out of wood and had to glue them onto the rocket which was difficult giving the glue wasn't drying fast enough and wasn't sticking well. Once the fins were done we got a top and cut it to close the top of the rocket. When the outside of the rocket was finished we started making the space to put the engine in and parachute ready to launch.
Looking Back: The Rocket experiment turned out really well good actually, I was very shocked when our scratch built rocket flew since I have never made a rocket before I didn't expect it to actually work but it did which was great! With the three rocket that we built and launched the tallest which was mine flew pretty high but not as high as the model rockets. When we went to fiesta island it was very windy being close to the water which was making it difficult to put on the engine and plugs in to make it work not only that but the engine mount wasn't staying in the rocket so we had to put more tape around it. Also out of the three rockets we made only two had a straw intact so we had to use a previews rocket that had already been launched to complete and be ready to take off. With all the rockets overall launched and flew which was a success except none of the parachutes opened which affected the rockets landing. Looking Beyond: I think one of the main observation is how or figuring out why the parachutes didn't open and work like we planned the too. Planning to fix it later if or when we try this experiment again. Most of my questions on this was about wether or not it would fly and how high it would go. I would've also liked to know more about the launch pad and the device that makes the rocket go or if there is more than one way. Looking Inward: On desirable results I think I did get them besides the parachutes not working it stilled worked out pretty good with being able to make a rocket fly. I contributed to my group by making the fins stable, gluing on the paper, and gathering materials also helping with the other rockets we made. Which was not the whole thing but I didn't know a lot of making a scratch rocket but with the help of Gabe and Victor I learned what to do and help as much as I could. Looking Outward: I worked with Gabe and Victor on the rocket when I asked them for help since they have already made rockets before knowing how to. I think our group performed good since we were well known but I haven't worked on a project before with them so it was a new experience but it was good working them since we did our own share of work. I tried to contribute a lot but didn't know much so I mostly asked victor what he needed me to help with so I helped with making the fins stable and gluing on part. Looking Forward: If I had to do this again I would change the way the top and the parachute were to get better results so the parachutes would open and make the rocket glide to the floor instead of crash landing. In a different situation I would like to work with either victor again since he knows a lot about rockets and maybe a person I haven't worked with such as Lydia, Savreen, and Jeniffer. Take Aways: Some things I learned is how to build a rocket out of scratch learning all the different parts and what values they contribute. |

The description of the flame test lab we mostly learned about the different atoms and metals and how it makes the fire turn into different colors also how the effects change with each metals. With the different metals and testing them in the fire we got a better understanding of them and their reaction. I already did a lab like this one before but today was different because I learned or understood better what was happening.
The equipment that we used in this lab was . Bunsen Burner . Bunsen Can .Metal Spoon .Bunsen Burner Apparatus .Isopropyl Alcohol Each of the Atoms had a different elements. In part of the lab we discussed how elements contain neutrons, protons, and electrons. When the atom absorbs the energy it changes and becomes "hyper or excited" which makes the neutrons, protons and electrons become more jumpy onto the outer shell making the color of the flame change. The different metals and elements had different colors which was recorded here. Magnesium (Mg): White Potassium (K): Lavender Lithium (Li): Red Boron (B) : Green Strontium (Sr): Dark Orange Iron (Fe): Orange Copper (Cu): Dark Green Sodium (Na): Yellow Looking Beyond in the lab I think that by learning this we are adding to our experience. Mostly we could use this later in life if we find a unknown substance or not 100% sure what it is. We could take from what we learned in this lab and burn a sample we could look upon the color of the flame and figure out what it is made or what it has. It could come in handy unlike many things we learn at school I think in a way. While doing the lab we also practiced safety by having a wet paper towel to turn out the flame and have just in case of emergencies. The results of the lab i found were very fun and came out well with seeing the colors perfectly and understanding the point. |

On Thursday my partner (Jesus) and I decided to make ice cream for a mini lab. In the beginning we researched on how to make ice cream mostly looking into past students blogs and the internet. We learned how to make the ice cream step by step, what ingredients we need and how the ice cream changes matter. You can see the ice cream proposal we made in order to start this lab in our photos. In the beginning of our lab we mostly worked on the proposal and trying to gather all of the ingredients to start the lab and trying to decide what flavors we should experiment and create. We ended up going to vons and getting the cathe other materials needed to be refrigerated. The next day we had to buy other materials so headed out to vons and came back. Preparing the ice cream such as combining and mixing the ingredients and also crumbling the candy. We had to wait a while since an other group was using the ice cream maker. When they were done we started to create our ice cream. We simply poured the liquid into the maker and waited for a couple of minutes for it to get frozen. The poured the chocolate into the ice cream maker for it to get frozen along side into the ice cream and not melt. After about 15 minutes the ice cream was frozen enough to enjoy and it tasted delicious from what people said.
Looking Back: The experiment worked really well didn't evolve much difficult work but was very fun to work on. The ice cream turned out to be very delicious with the chocolate we added. We were afraid that the chocolate would melt into the ice cream making it messy instead we poured the chocolate into the batter at the right moment which froze the chocolate adding a crunchy factor and flavor. Overall I think our ice cream lab was a success with taste and learning the phases of matter. Looking Beyond: The science behind the ice cream lab was mostly the phases of matter watching how liquid turns into a solid. While the liquid ice cream is getting frozen from the ice cream machine, molecules are now pressing together instead of going around freely. In the end the ice cream is frozen with frozen chocolate in it. So,one of our biggest questions is if salt has to be added to make ice cream but you don't technically have to add salt. Looking Inward: For the lab I think I got desirable result from the success of the ice cream. The way I contributed into the lab was getting some of the ingredients like whipping cream and vanilla extract. After we got the ingredients I started mixing them up making the liquid ice cream. I think I performed pretty well on the ice cream lab even if it was my first time making ice cream. I thought i tok charge into making the ice cream. Looking Outward: My partner I worked with was Jesus we just partnered up like very last minute but i think we did a good job working together. In our group performance we had great teamwork making the ice cream last minute turning very good and delicious. As for my group performance or contribution I took leadership and mainly focused on the ingredients and making the liquid ice cream. Looking Forward: If I could do this ice cream lab again i would probably make two batches with different ingredients to see if they make the same result or not. I think that would be a very interesting to experience. If i was organizing a new group for this lab i would probably partner up with lydia and savreen cause I think they would want to try something new. If I could continue this project I wouldn't know to do but I would like to research into that. Take Away: I learned new tricks how to add toppings onto ice cream. |
Overview: An analysis started when scientist started to wonder if humans were making an impact on intelligent animal speech. In the year 1977 a beluga whale with the name (Noa) was captured when he was still a juvenile. A couple of years later in 1984 they notice that we he was making unusual sounds and noises in the end they concluded that he was mimicking human speech or trying to. In the beginning though they were sceptical said Sam Ridgey from the National Marine Mammal Foundation in San DIego, California. They noticed that they were unusual noises made from a beluga trying to match human speech rhythm and acoustic spectrum. Instead in his nasal cavities revealed he was trying to match the same mechanism as his normal calls.
My Thoughts: What struck me about this article is how it has become more well known that beluga and dolphins have tried to mimic human speech since they are both very intelligent animals that live in similar ways that we do. |

Since I had already finished a lab and didn't have enough time or recourses to start a new lab I decided to do worksheet
|
|
Our first project that I did with Isabelle was to make borax crystals out of borax and water. We first started off with researching what we need in order to start our project. So we looked for videos or links explaining how borax crystals are formed such as how much borax is needed, what temperature to heat the crystals at, and how to make them colorful. I'm pretty sure there were different ways to make the crystals, our method included (pipe-cleaners, string, food dye, heat, beakers. The first time we tried this experiment we didn't really follow that instructions in order. We first tied the pipe-cleaners together and attached a string to it while we put that aside, Filled the beakers with water and put it on the heat pad and waited for the water to boil and added the food dye. We were suppose to put in the borax first but instead put the food dye first and added the borax second which was a mistake but still continued to add the pipe-cleaners to wrap it and wait for about 8 hours. The next day the crystals didn't fully form on the pipe-cleaners and so we concluded that we probably didn't add enough borax. Instead of giving up we tried again and added borax first and then the food dye once again we waited till the next day. The next day we checked on the crystals and saw the drastic change from the first time the crystals fully formed around the pipe cleaners and inside the beaker it was really shocking an amazing that we made this. Also saw the improvement from us learning from our mistakes. The first time thing in order to contribute to this project is you need to be very patient and willing to get your hands dirty. Besides that it was fun learning how the borax turned into a crystal from the warm water. I would like to do this project again probably better or in a diffrent way to experiment and see changes.

During the second part of the Phases of matter lab, We focused on solids and gases. Mainly experimenting with the dry ice and seeing first hand the different reactions it created. Before we continued with the lab, Andrew demonstrated how dry ice changes under pressure while turning it into liquid and opening the top which made the top fly out and the gas turn white and expand making it self look like a white cloud. It was really interesting and cool to watch since I didn't really expect the dry ice to turn into a gas and make that reaction. Once we finally got our hands on the dry ice we experimented on it by passing it along and pressing a coin on to it making a noise while it sticks to the ice. Also dropping it into a beaker and adding water which made it bubble and give off gas which was fun to play with like putting our hands over it or sticking our tongue out trying to feel it. Andrew gave us a balloon and letting us put in a piece of dry ice in the balloon while we observe as the dry ice goes off air making the balloon expand it was overall such a fun and intriguing lab as we got to experience it. The labs made us understand the point Andrew was trying to make in a such simple way I thought it was good and had a good time doing so.

Today during this lab we made oobleck by combining corn starch and water. The lab's main point was to figure out if it was a solid or liquid, It was hard to determine what it was because it defined volume and also created a shape under pressure just like a solid. Once the pressure was released it would flow and created a indefinite shape just like a liquid. I learned about different types of matter and how the molecules move or vibrate while doing this lab it made it more clear and fun. In my opinion I think it is a solid even though I'm quite not sure since it is a tricky question. The reason I think its a solid is because of the pressure and how even though it spills onto a surface it dries and turns in to a solid again. Although it can be a defined as a liquid too since it flows and has an indefinite shape it just depends on the persons way of looking at it. My theory on why the oobleck behaves the way it does is because I think the molecules get mixed together or either confused so that is why it changes rapidly into a solid and liquid.

We finished our lab poster. Our was about clothe safety and being sure to cover up any exposed skin while handling chemicals. The slogan we came up with was "Don't be a dud, cover up!". Meaning be careful and wear protection while during an experiment. There were different types of lab safety besides covering up for example "waft don't smell directly" and wash off any chemicals when in contact directly on skin". Really got the message that lab safety is very important when in a lab or just the room.

"Some of the best greatest poetry is revealing to the reader the beauty in something that was so simple you had taken granted"
The reason I chose this quote was because I found it applied to mostly everyone's lives how we take and never mostly give our appreciation in return. Its just so fairly true how poetry can simply change your perspective on such a simple thing, t can really makes a change in society for the better. This quote means to me that we should be more aware of our surroundings and to be grateful to have simple things in hands reach such as food, water , education, family because maybe one day they may be not. The quote made me realize that not only poetry should be the reason on being full of gratitude but should come from yourself and giving it to others. |
