| So students are understanding that mass can't be created nor destroyed, but why might we even combine two or more substances together in the first place? "To see what happens!" "To make something new." "To create something you need." Yup! You're right! We started discussing why substances might be combined, such as in baking, in medicine, or for technology purposes. So our last lesson in our chemical tests unit involved making mixtures for an intended purpose: to make a sole for an athletic shoe! Combining various chemicals gave us very different results...and students compared the results in a variety of tests. Check out their awesome work...and if you see them, ask them what shoe sole recipe they recommend! |

Mrs. BrinzaWe always practice safe science in our room. We wear goggles to protect our eyes, never touch anything that is unsafe, and keep the aisles clear so we can freely and safely move around the room. Archives
