Ending with Pendulums and Starting with Lava Lamps!

We are in a very exciting time in science right now!  Students just completed chapter 1 and are wrapping up the unit with an experiment with pendulums!  We found a very interesting video all about pendulums and I want to share it here:

Students are testing what changes the number of times a pendulum will swing in 15 seconds.  More information to come soon!

We will then begin our next unit on properties of matter.  Later this week we will build lava lamps to understand density more!  Here is quick video to give you the history of lava lamps:

Finally, here is a fun website to visit to continue reviewing the steps of the scientific method:
