Students had their first "lab" experience today as they progressed through a series of mini lab stations. The intent of these stations is twofold: 1) to give them some idea of what lies ahead in the curriculum and 2) to give me some idea of what they already know and/or what misconceptions they have.

| Alka-Seltzer proved fascinating to 8th graders |
 |
| trying to see if kids know about water displacement/volume |
 |
| air contracts when cooled and . . . |
 |
| air expands when heated |
 |
| kids were on task for the most part |
 |

 |
| and it did make me chuckle (hope their parents have a sense of humor because these shots will be going into my presentation for Curriculum Night) |
