Models of Weather We Built
Over the past week, we’ve been busy trying to make different models of how weather works. The first challenge was to show how air moves in relationship to being heated or cooled. It’s the beginning of wind. The second challenge was to show how dew and frost happens in the early mornings. This is part [...]

Applying heat transfer to designing a thermos
For our science lab, we had to make our own thermos. These are slides from our lab presentation. We were studying how heat moves from hot to colder places and from cold to hotter places. Everyone’s family brought in a bit of extra “stuff” that could be used for insulation. Insulation is where you try and [...]

What keeps things cold? Cold Stuff Lab
We’ve been collecting data on insulators. We tested air, cotton and steel wool to compare how well each one kept the heat inside the container. Yesterday we did the plan phase of the scientific method and figured out how to do the lab. Today we’re doing the conduct the lab and collect the data part. [...]
