Bubble Gum and Shampoo?

Overall, our lab was very successful! Hopefully, by doing the marble and shampoo experiment, you were able to understand acceleration a little better, and by "chomping" on our gum in the second activity, you were able to understand how to calculate speed a little better! Were you a fast chomper or a slow chomper???

After looking at your results you seemed to really understand the purpose of both activities! Who would have thought shampoo and bubble gum could teach us all about speed and acceleration???!!!

Speed and Velocity!!!

Here's our song that we heard in class!!!! Remember, as the song says, speed is "how fast you are moving", and velocity is your "speed and direction."

QUIZ RESULTS!

Overall, I was not very impressed with the quiz scores. I'm hoping that more time and effort will go into studying for the next one! (For those of you who did study and got a good grade, Good Job! Keep up the good work!) Remember, take your time and read the question!!! I know that you know the material, but most of the problems were due to careless mistakes.

For those of you who want the extra help and study time, I'm available to stay after school for homework clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:25-4:20. Also, as you all know already, Mrs. Giordano is here every Tuesday as well.

Acids and Bases Song!

Acids and Bases Have Two Different Faces
“Song Lyrics”

Acids and bases have two different faces,
Two different personalities,
And you gotta find out what they’re all about,
If you want to learn chemistry.

Now the first thing you gotta get straight in your head,
Acids turn blue litmus paper red.
They react with metals with awesome power,
They neutralize bases and taste very sour.

Bases are different from acids, it’s true,
Bases turn red litmus paper blue.
They neutralize acids, feel slippery on skin
They taste sorta bitter, and are called alkaline.

Acids and bases have two different faces,
Two different personalities,
And you gotta find out what they’re all about,
If you want to learn chemistry!
