Today we did are first "formal" lab activity, The Candle in a Jar Lab. Get it here!!! It involves making a hypothesis about how the size of a jar will affect the time a candle will burn when covered by the Jar.
YOUR HOMEWORK: was to graph any data you collected and be ready to share it with the class on Friday.
Here are the notes Day 07 Notes from the day that go over how to properly read the water level in a beaker. Remember, WATER IS STICKY! And AWESOME!
Friday, we're going to share our results with the class to calculate a class average and see if our procedures were all written well enough to get consistent results.
ALSO: Awesome new Science discovery.
Astronomers have recently discovered a "perfect" planet about 20 light years away that they are very confident supports or at least, can support life. It's in the all important "life zone". It's about 3 times the size of Earth and is tidally locked with it's Red Dwarf Sun. Meaning, like our moon, the same side of the planet always faces it's sun. Scientists don't yet have the tools to analyze the atmospheric contents, but are very, very hopeful that it contains water. If it does, there's almost 100% assuredness that the planet contains life.
