Science ProjectWeek 2 Requirements:
This week you will learn more about your topic by researching. You may use the internet, an encyclopedia, or library book. If you are having trouble finding information about your topic, let me know and we can work together to find something for you! Part of researching, is recording your sources! This is so that you can give credit to the person who originally created the information that you are using. For your homework this week, complete the information below and list the sources (at least 2 – you do not need to use all 5 boxes) where you found the information (if it is a website, write N/A for page). Next week, you will use this information to create a testable question! Printable Homework Sheet:

Imagine that you are studying a newly-discovered civilization. You have learned a lot of the language, but there are still some words you don’t understand. You translated the following description of a celebration, putting the words you don’t know in italics:
Based on the descriptions of wooshna, gruvnik, plargelon, and filbus, decide whether each one is a solid, liquid, or gas. Explain what characteristics of each substance support your conclusion.

- The wooshna is warm and green. We pour it from the jug into the bowl, and we watch as its surface becomes smooth. Then we add gruvnik and plargelon to the bowl. The plargelon sinks and spreads out to fill the bottom half of the bowl, and the bumpy red pieces of gruvnik float around on top of the wooshna. Finally, we open the small bottle of sweet-smelling filbus, and we all cheer as it spreads out through the whole room.
