Squishy Lab

Moreover, the demonstration in the article “Energy Story” was, the example shown in the article of what an atom is made up of was very detailed it showed electrons spinning around the nucleus, of atoms, in the same way the moon spins around the earth. Furthermore, the demonstration in “Conducting Solutions” the experiment that the article wrote was astonishing. The articles experiment contained water and salt and it explained how when a table of salt in water would dissolve only because the solution conducts very well because the solution contains ions and the ions come from the table of salt. Nevertheless, the clip ““Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits” experiment that was shown was she was showing with homemade playdough created an example on how to create a circuit through play dough. Ms. Thomas was also talking about how if you put two pieces of sugar dough it has one hundred and fifty times more resistance than the salt dough she used. If you put a piece of salt dough in the middle than that’s when the led would work because to resistance substances won’t make it work but the one that has less resistance

Ben Franklin was a very curious and inventive thinker. He kept thinking about different ways to experiment with electricity so he came up with an experiment with only a few materials (wire,mobile kite, handkerchief,and two sticks).(”Benjamin Franklin and Electricity”) Franklin

After reading the articles "Energy Story", and "Conducting Solutions", and viewing a video clip called Hands-On Science with Squishy Circuits, I realized they all have the same idea behind them but different purposes the writer is trying to get you to understand. In the article "Energy Story', the purpose was to inform readers about how energy can be used in our everyday actions and activities. It also talks about what energy does and how it is used, also what it is causing to happen. It describes the steps used to conduct energy and how to consume it. It also includes you having to do an action which will intrigue many readers. The article stated to, take a walk through your house and wright down all the different appliances, devices, and machines that use electricity. This article was a great source for getting information on all different kinds of reason for which energy is around.

In the passage, "Energy Story" the purpose is mainly to explain to you what electricity is. Also meaning how it happens. It gives some diagrams to give you a good explanation just to refer back to when trying to understand what is going on and to get a better understanding.

In the story "Energy story" it talks about the structure of an atom and electrons and how electrons can move easier in somethings than in other things, like in paragraph 21-22 it says that thing like rubber cloth glass and dry air are good insulators, which means that electrons don’t move as well as in things like copper, aluminum, and steel.

In paragraph eleven of "Energy Story" it explains how electrons can work. The author states "Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another." and continues to "When

Cutting through the mink to study its anatomy helps the group to realize that they are similar to human. The most important tools used in the lab are scissor, probe, pins, tweezer, and scapula. The most tool being used is scapula which is used to cut up the mink and skin it. Safety materials are required in the lab in order to avoid accident. Since the minks contain cancerous chemicals on them, the classes are required to wear safety goggles, apron, and gloves. The class started the dissection from May 18th to May 27th in third period of Anatomy class.

Conducting Solutions is important in life because it apart of science. If you want to be a scientist, then you would need to know what conducting solutions is. This article also talks about ions and electrical currents. Some demonstrations of this are ammonia vinegar mixed with molecules solutions and conduct electricity. Some water contains ions which conducts electricity really well Conducting Solutions is really important to know.

science -inquiry concepts. In the video clip from lesson 4,minute Students will work together to form hypothesis, observe ,follow procedure ,collect and analyze data, write a conclusion. This lab has four stations, with each stations student were dealing with situation involving phenomenon that they see outside of the classroom, likely on daily basis. so, with each station the Students can be seen using data and their observations as evidence to explain why they were seeing this real-world phenomenon. then students need to answer the lab analysis questions that also connect them with real world. video 2. Furthermore, to help students construct their explanations, I asked questions that push students to make connections to the real world. For example, in video 2, minute , I ask students why organic compounds dose not conduct electricity ? and how about if we try using water and salt ?

We discovered that the acetic acid reacted only with baking soda and sample #2. The acetic acid did not react with the sucrose or the table salt. During the conductivity test, the conductivity meter showed that the aqueous form of each substance, sample 2 included, conducted electricity. As the conductivity test produced no conclusive data, we based our determination of sample 2’s nature on the reaction with acetic acid. Sample 2’s reaction was only comparable to that of baking soda, leading us to believe sample 2 is indeed baking

4. What are the benefits of using a light bulb as an indication of conductivity? What are the disadvantages? The benefits are: it acts as a confident and direct way of determining whether a solution should be classified as strong, weak, or non-electrolyte. A strong light would indicate a strong electrolyte. A dim light indicates a weak electrolyte, and no light indicates a non-electrolyte. However, the disadvantages are the lack of accuracy in each reading, and conclusions that aren’t necessarily precise. Each reading displays a different level of light for each bulb. Therefore, conductivity

Children love television, and I know when I was in third grade and I saw the tv rolling into class I didn’t care what program we were about to see I was just glad we were watching tv. But this isn’t all about a “fun” video. Bill Nye the Science Guy is generally a great show for children. My main goal for showing these third graders Bill Nye is to not teach them the Hydrologic Cycle, but more to get them to like Bill Nye the Science Guy. Just think, as an educator, if you can teach your lesson while getting the students hooked on the whole subject. I watched Bill Nye the Science Guy as a child and I believe it was one of the few reasons why I was interested in science. When teaching third graders them learning the material at hand is the key lesson, but it’t not the final goal. Getting them interested and to enjoy science is the main take away here.

According to the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2015), it mentions that the different materials can be combined for a particular purpose (ACSSU031) which just suit in this activity because this experiment will combine the liquids together to show the student the changes of the water’s density. In Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2015), science involves observing, asking questions about, and describing changes in, objects and events (ACSHE034) also expressed in this experiment which the student will be asked questions and observed the changes of water. Pose and respond to questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events (ACSIS037) (ACARA, 2015) were including in this inquiry activity that the student have made a prediction about the experiment and also respond questions that related to the activity and her understandings of this activity. Early Years Learning Framework is a theory for early childhood educators and the goal of this document is to extend and enhance children’s learning from birth to five years and through the transition of school (EYLF, 2009, P. 5). According to EYLF (2009, p. 33), it states that children can develop their understandings of themselves and their world through active, hands-on investigation. While doing the activity, Jenny is active for engage in the experiment and she show the understandings after the activity by respond

As this paper has mentioned earlier, Benjamin Franklin has contrived some electrical phraseologies that are still widely used today even though his theories are now outdated or proved to be wrong. For instance, even ordinary people who have no previous experiences with physics use the terms, including “positive charge”, “negative charge”, “plus”, “minus” and “battery” even though they might not know the meanings of the words accurately. In the era of Benjamin Franklin, people likely to believe that the charges have similar properties as the fluid. Their theories are now called as the fluid theory. At the same time, at the era of Benjamin Franklin, majority of people believed that two charges, “positive charge” and “negative charge”, were different entities. This theory was called as the “two fluid” theory. On the other hand, Benjamin Franklin at that time had a different idea. He believed that two opposite charges are not separate entities. He observed that rubbing into different materials made them charges either negatively or positively. At that time, Benjamin Franklin made a theory that excessive electric fluid makes an electric positively and less electric fluid makes electricity to charge negatively. On the other hand, both fluid theories, including the two fluid theory and the one fluid theory from Benjamin Franklin are now considered as outdated theory. We know now that what makes charges either positively or
