The skills I develop in science is that we have SEVEN senses. My favorite thing in science is measuring height/width.
Getting a reaction
Today we had to use all our senses to see if we could see signs that a chemical reaction had taken place. We listened for fizzing, we watched for colour changes or things going cloudy, we felt the test tube to see if there was an increase in temperature and we carefully smelt for any gases. We tried to write down what we saw as accurately as we could. We had to use all our safety skills because we were working with chemicals and lots of glass ware.
Timing
Friday’s lessons were about time. We used stop clocks to measure in the lab in minutes and seconds. We then calculated averages of our timings to make our results more reliable. Finally, we looked at our reaction times and used a computer program to measure this as it is far too small to measure with a stop watch.

Section 1 – Homework
No excuses!
Below is the link to the homework booklet for Section 1.
Questions will be issued every week, but if you lose your homework booklet, look up the questions below.
Homework should be done at the back of your jotter to keep it separate from normal class work.
1D3 Homework
Research task – in connection with our looking at measuring the volume of solids, find out who said ‘Eureka!’ and why.
Post your answers back as comments on this post and we can build up more detail as we go.

Class materials
This link is to the teaching materials used in the first topic. You can refer to it if you want to look over material, to see what you have missed if you have been absent or to catch up on notes if you have lost a jotter.
Finding volume of solids
I know how to measure a volume of a rubber !
Welcome
This is the set-up message for Mr Wood’s S1 Science blog for 1D3 and 1G3. It will be updated to show current class work, homework exercises, links to further information on class work and links of general interest. All users are encouraged to contribute to the blog and comment on items on the blog. Mr McClure and Miss Imrie are also included in out blog family.
