Copper River School District -

The 8th grade science class is currently working on learning the differences between chemical and physical reactions and how they demonstrate the law of conservation of mass. After reading through the chapter and completing their class notes students completed a hands-on Sugar Lab to demonstrate their understanding. Before starting the lab, students had to fill out the objectives, hypothesis, materials, and procedures portion of their lab reports. Even though it was quite long they all had to write every step of the procedures as it would be their only guide when preforming the lab. Students began the lab by measuring a cup of sugar and determining its weight after placing it inside a beaker. They then melted the sugar on a hot plate and let it cool until they were able to place it on the scale and measure the weight of the sugar again. After melting the sugar students had to determine if a physical or chemical reaction had occurred and weather it demonstrated the law of conservation. Next they followed the same procedures only this time they burned the sugar, and determined what type of reaction had occurred along with explaining how the law of conservation applied to their answer.

Students in the middle school shop class learned how to use the compound sliding miter saw, plainer, Joyner, and table saw. In the pictures you will notice the students acquired skills in laminating wood together and cutting dado's in both pieces. Students routed all eight sides with their choice of style and blended in some technology with learning to use the CNC laser engraver and CNC router. They then spray painted 12x12 inch pieces of cast acrylic and engraved their choice of images. They also learned how to apply polyurethane to the wooden parts of the project. Mr. Stickney definitely has outdone himself again and had a great time working with the Middle School Students.
