Science at Bangor & in the News
Homecoming Week was certainly eventful! It was great to see and participate in the week's activities. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Chemistry spent the week learning about how measurements should be taken, the importance of accuracy and precision in measurement, and ways we report measurements. This was the first time we have really dug in to some math-heavy work in class, so there were definitely some growing pains. I'm confident that as we continue to practice these skills they will become easier. Science 9 continued exploring variables by testing what affects the speed of a pendulum swinging. We had a conference about what we learned through testing and then put our learning to the test. Each group of students chose a song and then the groups tried to match the swing of the pendulum to the beat of their chosen song for 15 seconds. Aside from feeling like I was running a dance club in my classroom, the challenge was a fun one for me to watch the 9th grade scientists take on.
