Wednesday, 12 September 2018. I'm really sorry for missing a second class and am hoping to be back with you on Friday.
Here is your task today: You all have made some progress on the buoyancy and barotrauma packet, but likely still have about half of it to go. Today's work is a continuation of what you did on Monday. Remember, all the links in the file below are live and will take you to a great number of resources to help you investigate this topic.
Lastly, I would encourage all of you to research the most effective way to create a film cannister submarine that can float 5-10 pennies to the surface of a body of water using a researched combination of baking soda, citric acid, and/or antacid tablets. Have a few different options prepared for Friday! Have fun everyone!

Monday, 10 September 2018. Mr. F will be out today. Your task is to complete as much of the computer-based investigation into fish morphology anatomy and barotrauma. The submarine model portion can be researched only but you will not be able to complete it until Wednesday. The videos from the last week's introduction can be found below as they will help with some parts of the packet. If any of you need colored pencils to color code diagrams, go to the cabinets with the fish prints on them (next to the fire blanket). There is a good amount you all can finish today and we'll make submarines next time! Good luck and have a great day everyone! See you Wednesday!
Thursday & Monday, 6 & 10 September 2018. Introduction to buoyancy, a property of water that allows objects to float. Videos from the last week's PowerPoint can be found below.
