September 23/26

Bell Ringer:  I showed a demonstration where I tipped a cup of water with a paper plate on it upside down and the plate stuck to the cup.  Students when were told to explain why they think the plate and water didn't fall out and they were to list questions that they have.  (example:  Does it work if the cup is filled to the top with water?)
Next, students worked in groups experimenting to answer the question "Under which conditions does the water stay in the cup and which conditions cause the water to fall?"
Then students worked on their graphing packets and if there was time we watched Bill Nye "Atoms."
Make Up:  Bell Ringer, try experiment at home, finish and turn in graphing packet.
