The 8th graders are continuing their study of chemistry, focusing recently on physical and chemical change and states of matter. We had a great day experimenting with dry ice and observing sublimation. We also did a viscosity lab, analyzing the viscosity of various liquids. Our next area of study will be the organization of the periodic table and we are continuing to learn the names of the elements. Students have a quiz on 10 elements each Wednesday. The students have also learned to balance chemical equations and did very well on their recent quiz. Overall, the 8th graders are doing a good job of following directions and safety procedures in their labs and they are working well together in their lab groups.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
