Science at Bangor & in the News
In chemistry, we had a double-lab week. We first explored the idea of volume--the amount of space something takes up and learned that the milliliter (mL) and cubic centimeter (cc or cm3) are equivalent units of volume. We also began learning about density, how much stuff is in a unit of space. We were able to graph data from both experiments and see that there was a linear relationship between ml & cm3 as well as ml & mass (in grams) for a given substance. During graphing, we started to use our science vocabulary to describe the meaning of the slope of the line. Needless to say, it was a big week for us. We will continue to use the ideas of mass, volume, and density as we develop a particle model.
Science 9 wrapped up their unit on experimental design last week. This week we will start our second unit on measurement & ratios. I also want to say a huge thank you to the Bangor Alumni Foundation. They funded my grant proposal which allowed me to purchase a classroom set (30) of TI-30X IIS calculators. The calculators will go into service tomorrow (10/5) & will be a huge asset to everyone in the classroom.
