Write down your homework and leave it out to be signed by me! You should use the same thing to write your homework for all of your classes all week until you get your agenda.

Please make a name tent using the white construction paper…please make your name large and dark

Write your name on the tab of the manila folder and complete the “I Am” poem…tape it into the inside of your folder…THIS FOLDER SHOULD NEVER LEAVE THE ROOM

Welcome to 8th GradeYour First Warm-up Is...

You can chose your seat for right now, please sit there everyday.

Once I feel that the class can no longer handle choosing their own seats I will make a seating chart…it will happen eventually

If YOU can not handle sitting in the seat you chose or near the people next to you, move before I move you.

The Mystery of the Swirling MilkLab Investigation

Why is the milk

moooving?

The secret of the bursting colors is the chemistry of that tiny drop of soap. Dish soap, because of its bipolar characteristics (nonpolar on one end and polar on the other), weakens the chemical bonds that hold the proteins and fats in solution. The soap's polar, or hydrophilic (water-loving), end dissolves in water, and its hydrophobic (water-fearing) end attaches to a fat globule in the milk. This is when the fun begins.

The molecules of fat bend, roll, twist, and contort in all directions as the soap molecules race around to join up with the fat molecules. During all of this fat molecule gymnastics, the food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere, providing an easy way to observe an otherwise invisible activity. As the soap becomes evenly mixed with the milk, the action slows down and eventually stops. 

The secret to the mystery

Let’s read over the expectations for the homework and decide what science means to YOU!
