Monday's Class

I think the labs on Monday were very interesting. I think that the students would be very enthused by the egg drop and the removal. I had never seen this before (besides the Full House episode :) ). I think I could maybe use this in my physics classroom. The Bell Jar was also pretty neat. I thought it was interesting when you pulled the water out and it was still cold! I think that would be a great demonstration/experiment for students. The lung concept was also a great/inexpensive way to show pressure/volume relationship.

Here are my content standards:
Egg Drop/Removal
9-12.P.2.1 Apply concepts of distance and time to the quantitative relationships of motion using apporpriate mathematical formulas, equations and units. (possibly with equipment)9-12.P.2.2 Predict motion of an object using Newton's Laws.

Bell Jar
9-12.P.1.7A Apply the kinetic molecular theory to solve quantitative problems involving pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of gas.

Lung
9-12.P.1.7A Apply the kinetic molecular theory to solve quantitative problems involving pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of gas.
9-12.P.1.3 Predict whether reactions will speed up or slow down as conditions change.
