Hot Plate Procedure

 Procedure
1. Take the cup of the seven different objects then pour the water into the funnel into the beaker.
2. In the cup separate the objects that can be separated into groups such as the toothpicks, the pebbles, the clear rock, and the sand.
3. Then you plug in the hot plate and put the beaker on the top of it; let the water sit there till all of the water has evaporated.
4. Take the magnet and hover it over the objects. You will notice pieces of metal filings sticking to the magnet.
5. Once the water has finished evaporating you will notice salt at the bottom of the beaker.
6. Be careful, take the tongs to remove the beaker away from the hot plate.
7. Do not forget to unplug the hot plate when finished removing the beaker.
8. Check that you have all of the objects: water, toothpicks, pebbles, clear rock, sand, metal filings, and salt.

EXTRA CREDIT

For the extra credit I am going to connect a book to my blog. The book that I am going to connect is called "Slob." It is about a 12 year old boy named Owen Birnbaum who is obese but really intelligent and he builds a TV that shows the past. The book talks about his school life and home life. At school Owen is made fun of a lot but he is brave and ignores the name calling. The reason why he is building the TV is to try and see something that happened two years ago. Also Owen has a mean gym coach who always tries to humiliate him. Owen always gets three Oreo cookies as his snack but all of the sudden they keep on disappearing. This book relates to science because Owen uses science to build his TV. Also this relates to science because Owen is obese from eating to much junk food and one of the topics was about the body and to keep your body healthy by eating the right foods. I look forward to reading more of this excellent book!
