Science Lab "The Amazing Egg"

The Amazing Floating Egg Lab

Ingredients
Observation of egg in water before adding ingredients
# of teaspoons added
Observations when ingredient added
Observation when water carefully added
Salt








Egg sank to the bottom.



5 tps.

Egg slowly started to float.

It sank again.
Epsom Salt

Egg sank to the bottom.





 
8 tps.

Egg slowly started to float.

It kept on floating.
Sugar

Egg sank to the bottom.






4.5 tps.
 
Egg slowly started to float.

It sank again.
Baking Soda

Egg sank to the bottom.






6 tps.

Egg slowly started to float.

It was not floating and it didn't sink either. It was in the middle.



Conclusion
·         What did you notice while using each ingredient?
·         Why do you think this occurred (use scientific language)?
·         Did everything go well during the lab? If no, what would you change next time?
      Each ingredient made the water a little more denser. Then it came to a point that the water was denser than the egg. So the egg started to float.

Progress Reports Reflection

  1. What do you think of your progress report?  What are you happy with?  Why are you not happy with? 
  2. What can you do during term 2 in order to improve your progress report?
I think my progress report was pretty good. I am happy with it. My parents are happy with it. Mr. Catton is happy with it...I think. I think I could have done a little better in Language Arts and Socials Studies. I need to work on writing skills like lenghty, smooth flowing paragraphs. I also want to continue working on researching skills to make my research a little more detailed. But overall I think I did a good job.

When someone meets me the first time...

When someone meets me the first time, I think the first thing they notice is my smile. I am always smiling when I meet someone the first time. It makes the other person feel good. Secondly, I think they notice the way I talk. I think that beacuse I usually talk frankly with other people. I am 85% of the time in a good mood. The other 15%....let's just say other than happy. Although someone can't really tell who I am by just looking at me. But I can be wrong because I can be a little over protective sometimes.

When I meet someone the first time...

When I meet someone the first time, I judge them by their looks, face expressions and how they talk to others. I don't really care about how they are dressed but sometimes it does matter. Sometimies clothing does tell a little about someone you meet the first time. Clothing can tell what kind of colours the person likes or dislikes. Looks and face expressions tell about the persons personality. If the person is smiling that tells about the person's mood and if they are confident or not. If the person is quiet, that tells if the person is shy or insecure. But after all you can't tell anything about the person untill you meet them.
