The handout read: Some ice and a little bit of water are placed in a glass beaker. The beaker is placed on a heater. Eventually the ice melts. The heater continues to heat the liquid. Eventually the water begins to boil. The heater continues to heat the boiling water.

Emily put ice into a rice cooker, placed a digital thermometer in the ice, and connected the thermometer to the Logger Lite program in order to graph the changes that are occurring. The graph recorded the phase changes occurring as ice turned into melted ice (water), and eventually turned into boiling water. Once the graph was complete, we discussed the: text/html 2012-12-01T01:28:34-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:spring2012daybyday:spring2012day8:reflections&rev=1354354114 Student 1 Learned: Connections between math and science. Having actual numbers to plug in can make it easier to understand, and easier to connect ideas. Wants to Know: How will Tuesday turn out? Student 2 Learned: Process of heating ice, and water makes more sense now.

A few students were able to see a fully-lit moon at the beginning of the month. One of the students was able make an observation Sunday night at 9:00 pm and reported seeing a moon that was skinny and only partially lit. Kortney asked the students to make predictions for how they thought the moon's shape would change over the course of the coming week: Table One: The shadow is rotating, so the moon will become more lit.
