Reading Log due NEXT THURSDAY

The following 2 assignments, Religion and Math, are due Monday the 24th, as each is quite challenging and time consuming...

Religion:

NAME:___________

Judaism versus Buddhism

a.)            Can you explain, in your own words, the differences between Judaism and Buddhism?

·         Think about how each of these key concepts compare between the two religions:

10.)              Salvation?

11.)              Life after death?

12.)              Anything extra you may want to add (ex: compare what each of the symbols represent;

b.)              Can you write a paragraph or two about the SIMILARITIES between each religion?

YOU MUST USE:

·        Any key terms you find

·         Conjunctions: Ex: While Judaism believes in blah blah, Buddhism believes in blah blah; at the same time; in other words; because of; and any of the others we’ve learned

·        Examples and your own thoughts (PEEL) you must use PEEL

·        Paragraphs: full sentences/full descriptions

·        Online research sites: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Buddhism_vs_Judaism http://worldbookonline.com/student     SEACRH: Judaism  and Buddhism …or any other SOLID sources you find (ask me if you’re unsure)

Science

Chemistry: Solutions/Mixtures... The Scientific Method:

Chemistry: Experiment #1: Using The Scientific Method

·        To use the 6 steps of the Scientific Method in planning, performing and evaluating an experiment.

·        Using some methods for dissolving solutions and mixtures into their various components.

·        Documentation of the experiment using tables, pictures and simple written reports.

I.       Problem:

a.)         Could salt that is dissolved in water return to its original state through scientific processes?

b.)         Do different types of salt dissolve differently in water?

Think about these questions. Look at the materials in front of you. How will you carry out the experiment(s)? What will you do? What will you look for? How long will it take? What will you measure?

II.   Hypothesis:

·        Write your educated guess clearly and in FULL, DEVELOPED SENTENCES with DETAIL.

·        Your hypothesis will be more than one or even two sentences long.

·        USE YOUR PRIOR SCIENCTIFIC KNOWLEDGE TO FORM YOUR HYPOTHESIS.

III.    Experiment:

·        Materials: List what you have in front of you,

in DETAIL.

·        Procedure: You’re on your own here! Discuss with your partner how you will go about dissolving the different salts and what you will do in order to separate the salt from the water again.

·        Describe your process in complete detail.

·        Neatness counts!

IV.   Observation:

·        Observe closely what happens while you carry out your procedure

·        Will you be able to observe everything today?

V.      Record Data:

·        Make a table in your Lab Book something like this:

Procedure	Fine Salt	Course Salt
Dissolving	What happened? How?	What happened? How?
Seperating	What happened? How?	What happened? How?

VI.   Conclusion:

·        Will you be able to make your conclusion for both Problem A and Problem B today? Why or why not? What is your conclusion for each? Compare it to your hypotheses A and B.
