Chemistry Week 8

This week in chemistry we learned about different units of temperature and did things with glowsticks.
On Monday we learned about the measurment of temperature called "Kelvin." -273.15 degrees Celcius is called absolute zero and is equal to 0 Kelvin. It is known as the absolute scale.
To convert celcius to kelvin, you add 273.15. To convert Celcius to Farenheidt, you multiply celcius by 2 and add 32.
Then, we focused on pressure. We compared 2 different 2 L bottles that both had a dropper in them and saw that when the cap on the bottle was screwed on, it was harder to move the dropper down than when it was unscrewed.
On Wednesday it was halloween so we did stuff with glowsticks. We found out that when you put glowsticks in hotter water, they glow brighter then when you put them in cold water.
On Thursday, we learned about pressure in the atmosphere and Mr. Abud assigned us a project to make a barometer over the weekend. A barometer measure the atmospheric pressure. We learned that we are the spongebob's of the air.
On Friday, we went to the computer lab and we took a group assessment.
Overall, this week was not too eventful but we learned a lot of important information.
