Science Fair Examples

Some of you have asked what the board layout should look like. The handout I gave you is a sample. Here is a picture of an ideal layout. It is by no means the ONLY possible layout. It just gives you an idea of what it may look like.

Place to plug in my laptop?

Is there a port to plug my laptop into so I can show my presentation?

Reminder:

Reminder: Don't forget that I am available for extra help on Friday's every week in room 213.

Please be there within the first 1/2 hr after school.

Also, don't forget about the homework club mon-thurs after school for extra help.

Ch3m1stry Un1t C0nt3st! (chemistry unit contest)

Chemistry Unit Contest

Okay, here is another contest for you...

Objective:
Find chemicals in your own home, and identify elements within various chemicals. Example: Sodium Chloride (salt): Sodium and Chlorine are elements.

Rules:
Similar to the previous contest, once an element has been named, you cannot use it again for points. Example: Sodium Chloride (2 points, 1 for each element), if someone else names Sodium Fluoride, they only get 1 point, as Sodium has already been named. Fluorine would get them that point.

Post each chemical name with individual elements listed. Each post should be a comment added to this post.

Again, there may be a prize at the end of the unit, so keep posting.

Ideas: check out your kitchen pantry, check out your bathroom, check out your laundry room.

Have fun!

Mr. C.

Basic Circuits Lab Analysis Questions (as requested)

Analogue Meter Sheet Please Help!

I can't figure out when it asks you for the Voltages for everything above 5V...

Electricity unit contest

Hey Science 9 bloggers!

In the next unit, we will be learning about electricity. Throughout the unit, you will be learning about Voltage, Current, Resistance, and Power.

The contest: post (as comments to this post) as many Voltage, Current, Resistance, or Power values of various electrical appliances that you use in your home.

The rules: You must include the name of the electrical appliance in your comment. Anything from a hairdryer to an Ipod is acceptable. If you can only find one value, that is acceptable...post it as a comment anyways. There may only be one comment for one appliance; first one to comment gets a point for that appliance. You must include the units in your comment as well. (example of a comment hairdryer 1000 W or 1000 Watts)

You should find the information you need on the back or bottom of whatever you are looking at. If it has a battery, sometimes you can find the information you need on the battery itself (example: cordless phone battery packs have Current and Voltage listed on the battery itself; you have to take out the battery pack to see this information).

Good luck!

PS: there may be a prize at the end of this contest.
