TBS Sixth Grade Math and Science 09-10. Friday, January 29, 2010. Today we observed the Galileo's thermometer again when it was cool, and some of the vials were up and some down. Then we applied a heat source to see what would happen. Most students predicted that the vials would go up, since heat makes things rise. They were surprised to observe the vials went down. Class notes may be downloaded here. Homework in science is the sheet Analyzing an Analogy: Galileo's Thermometer, which you can download here.
