Food for thought: Temperature and Odor

Posted by dgray21 | Posted in Science | Posted on March 26, 2019

Do you think the temperature of the room effects the time it takes an odor to get to your nose? Explain your answer. Provide 2 pieces of scientific reasoning to explain why.

I think that the temperature does not affect the odor. If we think about this we can say that temperature could provide different atoms to mix with the molecules. However, if we think about temperature in the last unit we learned that temperature is an abiotic factor meaning it can only affect the molecules by making them either warmer or colder. So the final answer is no because there is no such thing as hot or cold types of atoms.

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.

No, because they were not slaves they don’t know exactly what it was like.

What was one new thing you learned from reading these stories?

I learned the perspective of another person.

Did reading these stories from slaves change your perspective? How so?

No not really I still think it was a terrible idea

How do you think that the stories of slaves relate to our essential question of “Why do people move?”?

I think it does because the Africans had to move to America to become slaves of others.

Why did slaves move? Be specific in your answer.

I think they moved because multiple people bought them so they constantly had to move to different plots of land.

What are the 3 new facts you learned from this website?

I learned that the slaves sang mostly religious songs. I also learned the perspective of multiple people. I also learned about a girl named Maria

Listen to at least 3 of the songs on the website. What importance do they have? How were they used by slaves?

Look down that long, Arwhoolie and Shortn’in bread. They are important because it is history and all history is important. They were used to ask for freedom and have hope.

Look at the timeline of events. How did legal action against slaves change? Did it become more or less strict? Why do you think this is?

It was turned to different restrictions and rules. I think this is because people hadn’t learned their lesson yet.

Read through (or listen) to the personal narratives. How are these similar or different to the personal stories you read earlier? Why do you think this is?

Similar: They are stories of people who were slaves. Different: They are already out of slavery whereas in the packet it is during their experience.
