What is science?
=== Science is used by scientists daily to solve problems. Problems like finding cures for things such as cancer. It has taken over 50 years to find the cure; and they're still trying to find it. But scientists aren't the only people in the world who have problems. EVERYONE has problems. Whether your worried about paying your bills, or getting detention because you didn't finish your homework, we all have problems. Scientists have more. . . complex issues. Everyday, they deal with multiple difficulties. Some things like.... finding the cure for snake venom. There's not necessarily a cure, but when you go to a hospital, the can get it out. But science isn't only about solving problems. They also create things that help us in our daily lives. ===

**Learning about life:**
=== When learning about science, not only is there a lot to learn about, but there's also a lot to REMEMBER. When there's a lot of things to remember like keeping a balance beam calibrated, there are much harder things to keep in your brain. Like nature: Doing cells isn't easy. Especially when you have to make a graph or a poster about them, explaining all of the different parts of the cells. And there are two kinds of cells: plant cells, and animal cells. (such as humans or animals like dogs.) You need to know about mass, and lots of math. (even though it's science class.) But science isn't all about math and solving problems. It's also about learning about the world. === === Science may be as huge as the universe, or as tiny as a molecule in a plant. In science, depending on what grade your in, have standards that you have to learn. 7th grade: you learn about cells. 6th grade: you learn about things like rocks and volcanoes and such. 8th grade: which I personally think is the best year, you learn about things like lab safety, and even the volume of things. So science isn't just in one part of the world, or only scientists use it. You use science EVERYDAY. Believe it or not. So don't think that if you don't do well in science class that it's not a big deal. It is. Always try your hardest, and never give up on yourself! ===

** Reflection from the Viscosity Lab: **

My Reflection:
=== I learned that on the simulation above, when you set the one on the left to honey at 20 degrees, and the right side to corn syrup at 20 degrees, the honey goes slower. You drops the balls into the honey and corn syrup at the same time, it takes longer for the ball to sink all the way to the bottom of the honey than it does for the corn syrup. When you push reset, and set it to water at 20 degrees, (left) and honey at 70 degrees, (right) the go at the same pace. So there is no slower liquid, even though the liquids are different temperatures. It's because honey is thicker than water. So when you heat it up hotter than the water, it goes quicker. ===

4. Record the changes every 4 mins for 24 mins.
=== 5. While steel wool is reacting in the beaker, prepare a device for filtering. Place the filter paper into the mouth of the wide-mouth beaker. Use the rubber band to attach the filter to the top of the jar so that the filter hangs into the jar. === === 6. After your final observation of the water-vinegar-bleach solution, slowly pour the wool and solution into the filter paper. Let the liquid drain through. Add a little water to the beaker to rinse it and pour this into the liquid as well. Use forceps to pick up the wool, hold it over the filter, and rinse it off with a small amount of water. Then set the steel wool aside. === === 7 When all the water has drained through the filter, carefully remove it from the top of the jar. Place the filter on several thicknesses of paper towels. Once the material in the filter is dry, observe it carefully. Hold the magnet near the material and record what happens. ===

My Wordle:


===Metals are all around. Almost everywhere you look, there are metals. Cars and even buses are made of metal. Many coins are combinations of zinc with copper, nickel, or silver. Metals are in our everyday life, and everyday things! It would be so hard to even imagine a life without metals.=== ===Look at the periodic table: most of the elements are metals on the left side of the “zigzag line” in the periodic table. The other metals are classified as nonmetals and metalloids. What words would you use to describe metal? Think about it. . . well, if you’re not sure, here it is: a familiar metal such as iron, tin, gold, or silver, could be described as hard shiny or smooth.===



-ice cold water
===We dropped in an Alka-Seltzer tablet into the water and put in 2 thermometers. We measured how long it took for the tablets to dissolve and the temp. of the water. It took longer for the tablet to dissolve in the ice-cold water than the hot tap water. The hot tap water took 20 seconds and the water was at 81.9 degrees. The room temp. water took 56 seconds and was at 17.2 degrees.===
