Hello,
i am Sam, i am the scribe for today. We went over the answers for exercise 2 on our hand outs. the answers are,

a) it's a scientific law because it's a general equation about how the nature of it behaves.
b) scientific laws differ from political laws because scientific laws are descriptive; they don't say how nature MUST behave but rather DESCRIBES how nature does behave.
c)quantitative, because it's an observation that's concerned with how much there is or how much is present and it actually has values because he created an equation to generalize it.
d) it would be a theory (model) because spheres explain effect of a change in volume at different temperatures.
e) more experiments should be done and tested to see if his theory is accurate and precise to the predictions. It must be consistent as well. It mus be able to explain a wide range of phenomena.

Ms. K handed back our tests today and we went over them. to see the answers it's already posted up. we also had to do a lab. what we had to do was measure the circumference and diameter of about 5-8 different sized circular lids. We had to see what the relationship was between the circumference and diameter. And that was the class. Our next scribe will be
