Lab Tools and Metric Measurement

Today we learned about some of the science tools we will use throughout this year. Some of the tools that were introduced to us today were a graduated cylinder, test tube, beaker, and a bunson burner. We also saw a hot plate and Mr. Sherman showed us how hot it was by pouring water on it, which was super cool.

Mr. Sherman also taught us how to make a post on our science blog, which is what we are currently doing. I think that scribe posting will be a lot of fun this year and I'm looking foward to hearing everyone's thoughts and ideas about science class.

Oh....one other thing we did today was learn how to make conversions in the metric system. For example, Mr. Sherman taught us that 1 g = 1,000 mg. That's just one example, he taught us several others and he's so COOL!

Hey CheesePuf(f)101, great post! Even though I wasn't in class I feel like I really know what Mr. Sherman was talking about today. Did he mention any other lab tools? I thought we might use a triple beam balance this year?

Hey qwerty12345 Sorry you weren't in class today...Mr. Sherman is the man.....he's so really cool....he did mention that we will be using a triple beam balance. In fact, in class tomorrow we are going to practice finding the mass of different object. See you then!

You're all right! This lesson was sweet, my favorite part of it was the hot plate and the water. That was so cool especially when the water sizzled!!!!

so cool,

My favorite part was when Mr. Sherman poured water on the hot plate. Then the water turned into steam. That lesson was SO awesome!!

I'm testing this. I'm making a comment. Hopefully they'll get it.

cool teacher dude.

This is a practice comment. We want to make sure that everyone knows how to do this. Hopefully it works.
