Morning everyone! Today is Monday, March 21, 2011. I hope you enjoyed your extra day of time off on Friday. When we came in, we went through our morning routine, writing down the Word of the Day, doing our Calendar math, and getting it checked. At 9:05, we went down to music to rehearse the play, “Bullies Anonymous” with the other sixth grade class. We ran through virtually the whole play, except for the very end, and then we left for class. When we got back to class, we finished up our calendar math, got out our net books, and worked on our CBA until break. The font for the essay is 12 point and it has to be Times New Roman. After break, we worked on “Type 2 Learn 4” and some new questions on an article called “Doctor Dinosaur”. Then at 12:10, we headed out to lunch.
When we came back, we did science. We took a closer look at granite and obsidian. Our main focus was at crystals. Our student teacher brought in tubes of salol, which melts at 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or 42 degrees Celsius. So we heated up water, and melted the salol. Then once it was liquid, we took one vial and put it in cold water to cool and to crystalize. We also put the other vial on the desk (at room temp.) to cool and crystalize. The salol in the water cooled really fast, and we could see crystals in the first 30 seconds. The salol on the desk hadn’t crystalized at all. We came to the conclusion that if the salol cools slower, it creates bigger crystals, but if it cools quickly, it forms smaller crystals. This explains why obsidian has small crystals, and granite has larger crystals. Obsidian cools faster, and granite cools slower. We finished up 3.2 in math, and were going to do 3.3, but instead we did “Chaos in the Canyon” until 3:25, when we did PSV, wrote down homework, and left for the night. Enjoy your evening! Here’s your homework:
