Wednesday/Thursday, September 15/16

Woo, busy day.

We refreshed ourselves on the necessities of what we need for the Lab Safety Project. FRIDAY will be our only class day to work on this assignment.  Then it's due next week on Wednesday/Thursday.

We then dove into our powerpoint notes, exploring the nature of what is Science, who some famous scientists were (Newton, Archimedes, Bacon, Sagan) and the difference between a Subjective Observation and Objective Observation. 

Subjective - An observation based on Opinion. "That shirt is ugly".
Objective - An observation based on Fact. "That shirt is blue!"

We then dove into our Mystery Bag Lab, (downloadable HERE) and used our Objective/Subjective observation skills to describe various unknown objects.

You can download the notes HERE (Day 03 Notes).

I'd also recommend checking Youtube for Carl Sagan's video, The Pale Blue Dot.

Also, Cat in Space.

Next period will be working on our Lab Safety Project.

Until then,
