Science at Bangor & in the News
Chemistry is inching toward our Diet Coke & Mentos geyser day & just wrapped up our chemical reactions unit. We are now starting to learn about how much stuff is involved in chemical reactions & how to use the balanced reaction to figure out how much reactant we need or how much product we can make. In order to introduce this idea, we made s'mores. We needed 2 graham crackers, 1 marshmallow, and 3 pieces of Hershey's chocolate to make 1 s'more. We knew how many of each ingredient we had, so we could figure out how many whole s'mores we could make. It was a tasty way to begin this unit. We have moved on to start solving problems with chemical reactions. In Science 9 we are continuing to explore motion. This week we moved from a new way to represent an object's motion visually to distinguishing objects with constant velocity from those with constant acceleration. We can all picture a car maintaining its velocity (speed) or a car speeding up, but it is a little more difficult to determine what is happening just by looking at a graph. As we continue to practice analyzing graphs, more light bulbs are going on & we are starting to connect what is happening on the graph to what an object would actually be doing.
