Hey hey everyone!
Happy Pre-Friday! I hope you’ve had a productive Thursday. Today we embarked on our first (and one of my favorite) labs of the school year!

Here’s a list of the stations we completed:
Station 1: Magnetic Separation

Station 3: Mechanical Separation
Station 4: Sifting
Station 5: Filtration (Demo by Mrs. Barton)

Shout out and special thanks to Cindy, Leila, Jose, Jonathan, Zanovia for helping make those little hyperlapses possible 🙂

Tomorrow we will be wrapping up our lab, putting materials into our interactive notebooks so students have been informed that they will need their notebooks, glue, and tape.
Also – DON’T FORGET! WEEKLY HOMEWORK IS DUE TOMORROW! Make sure yours is complete and ready to submit!
I’ll see you back here tomorrow!
