Hello,
  This week you are getting time today to work on your ice melting lab write-up and also to prepare for the quiz on the nature of science concepts in our first unit.  The quiz on that material is on Thursday of this week.  On Friday we will be covering some information on the properties of water and you will be doing a brief lab (no write-up required).  Please come to AFT this week if you need any help!  Ms. Leary

Here's a practice problem for the quiz.  If you know how to do this, you should be in good shape for the experimental design concepts. 

You want to find out if fish fed more food will lay more eggs.

Tell me the following:
     • the hypothesis
     • the control group
     • 2 experimental groups
     • independent variable
     • dependent variable
     • 5 constants (unchanged variables)

Due dates:

• Quiz on Nature of Science Unit due Thursday 25 Sept.
• Graphing re-do? by Thursday 25 Sept
• Characteristics of Life activity (supposed to be done already) by Friday 26 Sept
• Ice Melting Lab due Friday 26 Sept
