Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I just want to remind you of the importance of this very special day. It is not just a free day from school. I hope you take a moment to look at the sites here or get to go to an event. We will spend more time next month studying the events around the time Dr. king lived and his role in our history.

Ideas for your Science Lab Experiment

This is to be a fairly simple experiment that will not take up much time. keep the rubric in mind, but mainly I want to know that you understand the states of matter. Just remember it must have to do with changing states of matter. Write out the process of the scientific method with your experiment listed step by step, just like we have talked about in class. Do your best, but keep it simple.
