Week 8 - Halloween

First period Mr. Ambrose gave a quiz on Jupiter and then discussed a moon of Jupiter, Ganymede. After he lectured on it, I went around and helped answer students questions on Ganymede or any other body to help finalize their profile sheets.

The chemistry classes had a quiz and an exciting lab. It was a Flame Test Lab. This was going to be the first really risky lab. The students would be working with fire and chemicals; of course the students were really excited. At each station there were 8 samples of different chemicals. They dipped a paper clip into the chemical and then held it in the flame. They would write down the color of the flame. One of the chemicals were labeled unknown, but was one they had already tested. They had to identify it by the color flame it produced. I walked around and assisted the students throughout the lab. Between the quiz and the lab, the students were very busy throughout the class and seemed to enjoy doing the lab.
