Week of 1-28 to 2-1

6th-We will be working with thermal energy this week, as well as the water cycle and Archimedes principle. We will be building tin foil boats on Friday to demonstrate this principle. As a reminder, our class trip will be this Wednesday, January 30th. Please be sure to be at school on time and have the appropriate clothing for outdoor winter tubing, as well as a bagged lunch. 7th-This week will be all about light reflection and refraction. We will be doing various mini-labs in chapter 19 to demonstrate these ideas. We will be reviewing on Friday for our test that will be held the following Monday. 8th-We will be discussing thermal energy this week and how it relates to the kinetic energy of molecules. We will discuss the heat vs. thermal energy, as well as take a look at heat engines. We will be reviewing Friday for our upcoming test the following Monday.
