What is Science? Science is everything, it can as big as the entire universe or as small as a single molecule. It is even things that you would least expect like for example an eraser on the end of your pencil. In the real world scientists... Investigate and make Earth a better place by finding solutions for thing like diseases and how different things occur like volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters.

In science class we... Discover and learn about what scientists have discovered by doing research or simply reading about them in a text book.

The purpose of this site is... The purpose of this site is so we can help each other by giving each other ideas, helping each other with assignments, or simply to communicate with one another.

Lab Safety Poster:

= SECRET LIFE AS A LION: = This poster is basically telling you a little about myself.



My dream carrier is to become a mineralogist. You probably don't know this about me but one reason I want to be a mineralogist is because I've been interested with all kinds of rocks and minerals my entire life. Another reason I want to be a mineralogist is because I would get to fly all over the world, I've always wanted to travel all over western Europe. So as you should hopefully see I'm a crystal nut.

You probably know me well in school but outside of school I wonder if you know me at all. At home I like to play video games with my friends, draw all kinds of random things, watch tv, or just mess around.If I'm not at home I'm probably hanging out with friends. I love being with my friends and when I am who knows what fun stuff we'll do. One thing you probably don't know about me is that I can play an instrument called the cornet ( a cornet is like a trumpet but smaller and made of silver) fairly well, in fifth grade I played in front of a professional music instructor and got the second best rank.

Some goals I have this year are to have a magnificent last year at ECS, to attempt to play almost every sport, and give this year my absolute best attempt to succeed. This is my life, my life as an ECS LION!!!!!

Reflection on the Changes in State and Viscosity Lab (What I Learned....)

In this lab we had a worksheet that was divided up into 3 sections. The picture above is part 1 of 3, in this part of the lab we experimented to see which marble would fall the fastest. Depending an the substances in the jar such as water, olive oil, corn syrup, honey, etc. We were also capable of changing the tempature which also affected the speed of the marble. Parts 2 and 3 were testing different substances to see how fast it would melt then boil.

== This lab was a very interesting little piece of technology. In this lab we tested to see things like pressure and volume in a simple jar of molecules. We were capable of experimenting to see what would by altering the temperature, space, and the amount of particles. ==

__ICE LAB__
REFLECTION: In this lab we took ICE and placed them into 4 different cups at different cups. Then we timed them to see how long it would take for them to melt.

INTRO: The purpose of this lab is to test whether ice will melt faster in a warm cup or a room temp cup. It also experimented the difference in results between a probe or a thermometer. PROBLEM STATEMENT: How does the temperature of the surroundings affect the rate at which ice melts??? HYPOTHESIS: My hypothesis is that the cup with the hotter water will melt the ice faster. MATERIALS: PROCEDURES: Fill a cup with warm water bout 1/2 way and fill a 2nd cup the same amount at room temp. Record the exact temp of each. Then place 1 ice cube in each and time exact second the ice completely melted and record it. RESULTS: The 1st cups beginning temp was 24 degrees celsius, melting time was 720+ sec, and the final temp was 14 degrees.
 * thermometer
 * timer/stopwatch
 * 2 plastic cups
 * 2 stirring rods
 * ice cubes
 * warm water
 * room temp water

The 2nd cups 1st temp was 20 degrees, melting time was 180+ sec, and the final temp was 9.2 degrees.

Cup #3s 1st temp was 45degrees, melting time was 82 sec, and its final temp was 33.5degrees.

The last cup #4s 1st temp was 47degrees, its melting point was 180 sec, and its final temp was 28.7 degrees.

CONCLUSION:

In the end my hypothesis was correct because the hotter water melted the ice much faster. I also think that this was an interesting experiment that i'd recommend to any age with assistance.

=__ POPPLET __= In this project each of us were assigned a compound to do a popplet on. Popplet is like bubble us ecxept more organized and more things you can place in it. So I was assigned Sodium Chloride (salt) and started researching. I had to find the atomic structure, type of bond, examples, and the history of my compound. After researching I had to type out all thye information into my popplet and add stuff like pictures and videos. We all had to make a model of the compound as well.This is fun because it's easy and fun to use.

media type="custom" key="16183800" Scratch Project media type="custom" key="18018384" REFLECTION: We recently used scratch and I thought it was something fun. My assignment was to make a scratch using a document with steps. We made it with scratch ,the cat, and Newton because we've been studying him. It was pretty fun to use scratch but, this project had a point. I want people to be entertained in this project. I feel that scratch is meant to entertain people with the funny videos and games. When I experimented with different games I found a game called Nazi Zombies 5 and it was very fun!!! There was also a ton of other games but this was my favorite.

Cube Reflection: I just used another new tool called cube creator. I9 thought it was kind of interesting. I did mine on Copernicus.
