What a fun week in science! We learned about buoyancy, pressure, and several other principles. There was a lab on gas that we got to go into the lab for. Next week we will be in the lab again with a lesson on why we need to wear goggles in the lab. We will also be reviewing lesson 8.1 through 8.5 for an Assessment on Friday.

I will be here after school on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday until 3:20 to help students who need to use science tools, books or computers to complete their Science Fair projects. Students should bring their work and supplies with them. Students will also need to be picked up at 3:20, walk home, or go to their afterschool program.

We are going to be creating a tab booklet to help us remember the gas laws and the fluid principles. The book will contain the definitions, the example we used in class and a mneumonic device to remember it with. These books will go into our journals so we can use them on the assessment on Friday.

Mr. Musser will be running a lab on "Why We Wear Goggles in the Lab". He has received donations from the community for this one and it may have a musical score to go along with it. It should be fun.

After this lesson, we will be review the names of items used in the lab that the high school teachers feel would be helpful for students to know when they get to 9th grade.
