First of all - I am so excited that I received an awesome report from Ms. Jones and Ms. Lay about today's behavior while I was away at science fair. Thanks for being fabulous :)
Remember to have parents book conferences that received forms. Early release (at 1:15PM) is Monday and Tuesday. Make sure you do IT 16-3 and 16-4 if you have not done so. Please do them over the weekend. Your final 10 flash cards for the meteorology unit will be due Wednesday. An asteroid is flying by today at 2PM. Watch it live online! Thanks to a science page I follow on facebook, I was able to find this! Here is the post: Asteroid DA14 is due to fly past Earth in a few hours. It's 50 metres across and will pass just 17,100 miles above our heads. Although there is no danger of a collision, it's still passing much closer than any other known asteroid and closer than many man made satellites. NASA will be doing a live stream of the asteroid as it passes us by, so don't despair if it won't be visible from your area. The stream will begin at 19:00 GMT/14:00 EST/11:00 PST. You'll be able to watch it here: http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2 For more info on the flyby, visit this NASA page: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/asteroidflyby.html Title: Heating and Cooling of Earth's surface
Question: How do the heating and cooling rates of land and water compare? Hypothesis: (state your hypothesis - the answer to your question) Materials:
1. Fill one cup with sand. 2. Take the temperature of the sand in the cup 3. Fill another cup with water. 4. Take the temperature of the water in the cup 5. Place both cups under a lamp 6. Take temperature of each every minute. 7. After 15 minutes, turn the lamp off. 8. Continue taking the temperature every minute, until 30 minutes have passed. GRAPH YOUR RESULTS using a double line graph. Time goes on the X axis and temperature goes on the Y axis. Discussion: (please note I took out the question about the dark sand vs. the light sand since we only used light sand). 1. Based on your data, which material heated up the fastest and slowest? 2. Based on your data, which material cooled off the fastest and slowest? 3. If you are at the beach in the afternoon, how would the temperature of the sandy beach affect the temperature of the air above it? 4. How would that temperature change affect the density of the air, and what direction would the air move? 5. How did your hypothesis compare to your data?
Rock Eagle Payment due Monday!
Over chapter 15. Be sure you have completed the IT for 15-1, 15-2, 15-3 and 15-4. These sections have been assigned slowly over the week, so tonight you should only have 15-4 left. I am posting the two supplemental powerpoints I shared with you guys over the past two days. The wonder wall is now online! Check out the link on the left side of this page :)
