The Science Behind It
Catapult Design
November 2nd 2015
Today we did a catapult design and competition with office materials. This was more a physics lab that focused on tension of the rubber bands and the momentum of the object. concepts of Velocity, and mass dependency came up a lot through out this lab. The group that could fling the skittle the farthest with their catapult got some extra candy. If you have any questions, or would like more information Contact Mrs.Riske, or one of the Physics teachers (Mr.Burg, Mrs.Profit, and Mr.Peterson).
Chromatography Lab
October 5th 2015
Today we did a chromatography lab where we tested how hydrophilic the ink in a marker was. If the Experiment had worked properly (Which it had not for most of us) we had a colorful circle paper at the end. This effect was due to the fact that water is polar and so it the ink in the marker. Since "like attracts like" the water ran and took the ink with it. For more information contact Mrs. Riske or another science teacher.
