11/6 Class

The majority of today's class was spent going over our reading guides to prepare for our third quiz for chapters six through eight. We went over every question, which helped to clear up any questions that I previously had. The last twenty minutes of class was spent on doing an experiment called A Good Sock. My group did not get very far into the experiment because we experienced some difficulties early on. We were to fill up 2 plastic bottles with hot water and put a sock over one of them to help insulate it. One of our bottles leaked everywhere because there were three small holes in it. We also had trouble using the Lab Quests and probes to find the temperature of the two bottles. Dr. Exrailson said that next week we will work on the experiments again, so hopefully we will have better luck and will be able to determine the outcome of the experiment. From this experience I have learned that you just have to go with the flow of things and not panic when difficulties arise during projects with students.
