Super Bowl Week of Science (Feb 1)

This week in science was very fun. Unfortunately i ended up being sick on Monday and Tuesday. Then, on Wednesday we had a snow day. I went in during study hall on Thursday and found out that our teacher went over the words heating and heat. He explained to us that heat is not a thing, but heating is. Heating things up is when hot particles touch other particles and heat the other ones up. Just like when you rub to books together. It gets hot from friction. Click here for a diagram. Then on Thursday we worked on classifying rock. Our home work was to bring in a rock to classify. My rock ended up being igneous. I knew this because under the microscope I saw large crystals and some air holes. I knew they were holes because the rock absorbed the water that i put on it. Then on Friday we discussed about the order rocks can turn into other rocks. Turns out that any rock can turn into any rock type. It can even turn into its self again.
