Today we talked more about solids, liquids and gases and did a few little demos to introduce certain concepts like potential and kinetic energy as well as surface tension. I had both periods do a guided reading and introduced a writing exercise for homework. They have to compare and contrast Charle’s Law, Boyle’s Law and the Meissner Effect. Three paragraphs, 4-5 sentences each with definitions and examples of each concept. The Meissner Effect is not in their books so they will have to do just a little bit of research on it and tell me what they learned. This is higher order science here, so they might struggle a little with it. Challenges are good!
