Introduction to Science 6
Science Six Unit One
In this unit, we made two packets about longitude and lattitude, and microscopes. We also used triple beam balances and did some journal questions. The journal questions were all related to the lesson we learned that day, or a review of what we did yesterday.
My favorite project
The science microscope was probably my favorite project. It is my favorite, because it is'nt everyday you get to use a microscope. Also, it was pretty fun when we had to find out where Mr. Shaffer went to the beach over summer vacation.
Triple Beam Battle
This if you don't know is a triple beam balance. It measures the weight of grams with three balances. It mostly ends in a whole number. You move the little tabs around until they click into place. Then you add all the numbers the little tab saids and it's the amount of grams. You know when it matches, because when's the pointer is pointing at the line the it means that's its weight. I enjoyed this assignment, because it was fun moving the little tabs around and finding the grams,
Microscope
This is a micro scope. There are 3 scopes on a microscope. Low power, medium power and high power. The max each can go are 40x, 100x, then 400x. Each gives a zoomed in perspective of the object. There is also a knob that adjusts the max amount of magnafacation. There is also one that make sure it more clear. I enjoyed this activity, because I got to use a microscope.
Plankton Egg
This is a plankton egg. It's unclear in the picture, but in the microscope it's visible. Plankton is something that goes into the water. I think it has something to do in the coral reef. When examining this plankton egg in a microscope, you will see a line pointing to the center. I enjoy this item, because we had an egg that's supposed to be in the sea.
Overall feelings
Overall, this unit was fun interesting and a little bit difficult. All the projects we did were all fun and interesting, the two packets we did on longitude and lattitude and microscope were difficult, but very interesting.
