Food for Thought: Temperature and Odor
Do you think the temperature of the room affects the time it takes an odor to get to your nose? Explain your answer. Provide two pieces of scientific reasoning to explain why.
I think temperature does affect the time the odor takes to get to your nose. I think this because hot air rises so all of the odor particles in that air rises too, away from your nose. And with cold air, it will go low, also away from your nose.

Slavery Primary Sources
How did the experiences of slaves first hand compared to what we have read about in the past? Were our secondary sources accurate to the slave experience? Explain.
It’s mostly similar. There are a couple of inconsistencies but I assume that’s because everyone who was a slave had a different experience.
What was one new thing you learned from reading these stories?
Some masters were nicer than others. But most masters weren’t nice
Did reading these stories from slaves change your perspective? How so?
Yes. It gave me a more inside view of the slave life.
How do you think that the stories of slaves relate to our essential question of “Why do people move?”?
Because maybe they move to where there are more people in need to make them slaves.
Why did slaves move? Be specific in your answer.
Maybe to get away from old masters, or to get away from places that have a lot of enslavers.
