Showed off T-shirts to Mrs. Lute's class.
Students filled out wrap-up sheet for Physics Extravaganza.
Handed out paper and asked students to sketch model of atom and then write down what they know about atoms. Hung up pictures and discussed.
Nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons
Relative masses, size of nucleus vs size of atom
Size of atom - smaller than wavelength of light so can't see it.
Type of element is determined by number of protons in nucleus.
Intro to fire volcano.
Reaction of 2CH3OH + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 4H20
Balancing chemical equation
Demo of fire tornado.
Went around room and asked people what they liked about the Physics Extravaganza.

Clean-up day. Assigned jobs to different students.
When students were done, gave them the option of using computers to continue typing up sludge report.
For those students who did not wish to work on their reports, I demonstrated several of the demos for the Physics Extravaganza hype day at Twality Middle school.
At the end of the class, I packed up the equipment and then headed off to Twality.

Clean-up day for Sludge. Assigned jobs to the students. When they finished the clean-up they had the option of working on their sludge reports.
I also showed several of the demos for the Twality Middle School Presentation of Physics Extravaganza. Many of the students wanted to help and participate in the presentations.
Did show Van de Graff but the belt broke and I had to replace it after school.
