(This is optional for grade 6)
Due Monday May 11, 2015
Choose:
In a container pour 3 cups of water, one two tablespoons of rinsed sand, one tablespoon of ground black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Construct a filtration system that will remove the pepper, oil, and sand.
In a container, mix three cups of water and three tablespoons of salt. Construct a distilation or evaporation system that will seperate the water from the salt.
Build a 3d model of an ecosystem to demonstrate producers, consumers, and decomposers at work. Make sure your ecosystem is accurate (ie. no moose in the desert). This project should include written paragraphs explaining the model.
Conduct an experiment to examine insulation and heat loss. Test 5 seperate materials (ex, tinfoil, paper, wool, cotton, etc...) to see how well each one insulates (ie. prevents heat loss). This experiment you will need to design yourself.
