Blog Post Week 9

 1. In lab, we learned about natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which organisms adapt to their environment and develop traits to survive. We played a bunny game to simulate the process of natural selection. We played a game with beads that showed how the organisms with the best traits will survive.

2. I was able to relate what I learned to what I knew. I knew that the organisms best fitted to their environment will survive.

3. I can apply what I learned to my teaching career. I really liked the online bunny simulation to show the process of natural selection. I will definitely use more online simulations in my lessons.

 1. What did I learn this week? Today in lab, we learned about and developed a particle model of the plunger. When the plunger is pushed down on a smooth surface, it sticks. When the plunger gets pushed down, the air is forced out and cannot come back in because a vacuum is created inside. There is no space for the air to go inside, making it stick to the surface. We also learned about why ice melts faster on metal than on wood. We concluded that metal has less gaps/holes in their particle makeup. When the ice hits the ice, there are more collisions happening which heats up the ice and causes it to melt. The wood's particle makeup has more air pockets causing less collisions. 2. Which parts did I find confusing? The most confusing part of the lab was explaining why ice melts faster on metal. This process took forever for me to figure out. Once we understood the particle makeup of the materials, it helped me to understand particle collision better. 3. How can I apply this to teachin...
