Class on Thursday, November 6

Today we started off class by asking any questions we had so we got to hear a little bit about our final presentations that we will have to do in December. Dr. E. will explain our projects in more depth later. After asking questions, we went on to go over our reading guides. Since we had a lot to do today, we went through the questions pretty fast, but that was okay since we got through all of them anyway. It was nice to go through these as a class since we have a quiz online today that is due at midnight tomorrow so I feel like this helped me refresh my mind. After we got done going over the reading guide, we started a lab. It was called "A Good Sock." We ran out of time so we are going to start it over next week. The purpose of it was to demonstrate how insulation slows the flow of heat. We had two water bottles, and one was covered in a sock. We were to use Lab Quest computers with two temperature probes to calculate the temperature of the two bottles. We will do the activity in more depth next week since we barely had any time to figure it out.
