AOL IM conversations Tuesday evening 9/23/03
Mlkjhgfddsa: hey
eescilsm: hi there
Mlkjhgfddsa: hi Mr Michell
Mlkjhgfddsa: is alot of the test bubble questions?
eescilsm: about 20 - 30 questions
Mlkjhgfddsa: this is ------- from class and im having trouble
Mlkjhgfddsa: i feel like i dont know what im doing
eescilsm: so where do we start?
Mlkjhgfddsa: how you find out density and to find out mass
Mlkjhgfddsa: i get them mixed up
Mlkjhgfddsa: is varibles going to be on the test?
eescilsm: mass is what something measures on a scale
eescilsm: density is what one individual cubic centimeter would have for mass
Mlkjhgfddsa: confusing
Mlkjhgfddsa: ill study more
eescilsm: what do you weigh?
Mlkjhgfddsa: 100
Mlkjhgfddsa: im tiny
eescilsm: that is your mass (sort of)
eescilsm: your density is what one cc of you "weighs"
eescilsm: and that is about the same for everyone
Mlkjhgfddsa: is the test about everything..is there more about one section
then others?
Mlkjhgfddsa: ok im strting to get it
Mlkjhgfddsa: i have to go
Mlkjhgfddsa: bye
eescilsm: bye - i hope this helped
Mlkjhgfddsa: yes it did..thank you
Sdfghjkkl: hey mr. Mitchell its ------ i have a question?
eescilsm: hi there
Sdfghjkkl: hi
Sdfghjkkl: when u say to explain control of variables and sources of
error in a expirament what do u mean?
eescilsm: making sure the only thing that can affect the outcome of your
experiment is what you are testing
Sdfghjkkl: so that means the independant variable should be the only
thing that effects the expiriment?
eescilsm: yes, because if there is more than one variable, you can't be sure
which one caused that result
Sdfghjkkl: thank you :-D
eescilsm: you're welcome
Sdfghjkkl: What does it mean when we have to explain how SI prefixes
indicate the size of SI units
eescilsm: kilo means 1000, centi means 1/100
Sdfghjkkl: oh ok
tyuioplkjh: hey mr. m...about how many questions are there on the test
2morow?
eescilsm: 20 - 30 or so multiple choice, 3-5 essays
tyuioplkjh: o ok...will it be hard?
eescilsm: not if you know everything
tyuioplkjh: i c
tyuioplkjh: will there be measurements?
tyuioplkjh: like converting?
eescilsm: probably
tyuioplkjh: ok thankx
eescilsm: you're welcome
nytrewqa: hello the earth roatats
eescilsm: who is this?
nytrewqa: and revolves
nytrewqa: did we have ne hw
nytrewqa: hello?
eescilsm: can i help you with something?
nytrewqa: what is the degrees for absoulut zero?? -460 degrees F ??
eescilsm: i'd have to look that up, but its got to be around that
nytrewqa: your a science teacher you should no it...i no it and im in 6th
grade
eescilsm: so you're not one of my students now?
nytrewqa: no
nytrewqa: but im really good in science
eescilsm: how did you get my im?
nytrewqa: u mean sn??
nytrewqa: im in bio
nytrewqa: right now
eescilsm: ok, how did you get my screen name?
eescilsm: not that i don't want to help, i'm just curious
nytrewqa: my friends cusins sister errr something like that
nytrewqa: no arnt u impressed in my science skills tho
nytrewqa: do u no what an ecotone is?
nytrewqa: if not ill tell you
eescilsm: i have a pretty good idea
nytrewqa: it is the boarder area between any two echo systems
nytrewqa: do u no what the edge effect is?
eescilsm: is this helping you study for a test?
nytrewqa: yes i want u to help me and see if im right
eescilsm: ok, i'll try
nytrewqa: ecology is the study of the relation ship of living things in
their enviroment right??
nytrewqa: your a science teacher you should no this
eescilsm: sounds right
nytrewqa: ok..
nytrewqa: geograhical succesion is a change in place and ecological change
is based on time
nytrewqa: a habitat is where something lives
nytrewqa: and a niche is what something does in its habitat
nytrewqa: right??
eescilsm: the word niche also describes how it relates to the other organisms in
its habitat and its physical environment
nytrewqa: ok
nytrewqa: chemistry is the study of matter and physics is the study of
forces
eescilsm: basically
nytrewqa: energy is actually light and every green plant has gluecose
eescilsm: energy is the ability to do work
nytrewqa: Deffusion is the movemnet of molecules from an area of high
constertration to an area of low consentration to set up all dynamic equilibrium
nytrewqa: right??
eescilsm: diffusion may not always lead to equilibrium
nytrewqa: oh :-\
nytrewqa: what is osmosis?
eescilsm: diffusion of water
nytrewqa: defusion threw a semi permiable membrane??
eescilsm: a membrane that lets some stuff through but not all
nytrewqa: thank you
nytrewqa: do you think im goood at science for being in 6th grader
eescilsm: you know a lot of definitions, i hope you can use them also
nytrewqa: ya i no i try
nytrewqa: i have an A+ in that class im really happy
eescilsm: good for you
eescilsm: who is your teacher?
nytrewqa: mr -------
nytrewqa: and im in BIO for 6th grade
eescilsm: at --------?
nytrewqa: no

Nqwertyuiop: Mr. Mitchell.....this is ------
eescilsm: hi
Nqwertyuiop: i need help! I am studying right now...and i dont know how to
convert Farenheit into Celcius
Nqwertyuiop: because i wasnt there that day that you taught it
eescilsm: subtract 32, then divide by 1.8
Nqwertyuiop: OH! okay thank you!
eescilsm: you're welcome
kjhgfdsa: yo dawg wutsupppppp?? wuts density man?
eescilsm: whats a density man?
kjhgfdsa: yea
eescilsm: a man who specializes in density?
kjhgfdsa: sounds good to me.
eescilsm: what are you asking?
kjhgfdsa: whaaaaaaaat is density?
eescilsm: what does it say on your handout?
kjhgfdsa: idk i dont have it w/me
eescilsm: http://www.oocities.org/CapeCanaveral/7639/foundtns/density.htm
kjhgfdsa: huh
kjhgfdsa: and that is.........??
eescilsm: that the handout - it has the definitions and the formula
kjhgfdsa: greaaaaaaat..
kjhgfdsa: :-\im bored.
eescilsm: oh well
kjhgfdsa: :-(..fine.
kjhgfdsa: is there a lot of ppl talking 2 u?
eescilsm: about 7 or 8 - i'm not too good at keeping up

kjhgfdsa: lol...riiiight.
kjhgfdsa: mmmmmk
kjhgfdsa: do you add ppl to ur buddy list?
eescilsm: no, it would get way too busy
kjhgfdsa: you need to learn how to use computer lingo. its much faster then
typin' out the whole word.
kjhgfdsa: :-\
eescilsm: yes, but it furthers the degradation of the language
kjhgfdsa: sure. whatever that meant.
kjhgfdsa: have you figured out wut everything meant yet?

eescilsm: only questions about measurement
Dfghjklpiuyt: ok
Dfghjklpiuyt: is there a lot of math work?
Dfghjklpiuyt: with volume and stuff?
eescilsm: not really, some of the optional essays have some math
Dfghjklpiuyt: ok
eescilsm: yes you do have to calculate some volumes, density, etc but not a lot of
questions
Dfghjklpiuyt: ok
Dfghjklpiuyt: is the scientific method is the 8 different steps right?
eescilsm: right
Dfghjklpiuyt: for define a laboratory as a situation in which all variables can be
controlled for the purpose of a experimentaton what is that asking?

Sertyuiop: k
eescilsm: anything else you need help with?
Sertyuiop: ummm....
eescilsm: if not, i'm going to get offline for a while
Sertyuiop: what did describe how the density of earth materials relate to each other and
the density of water mean?? like, describe how the earth materials and the water are
related in density
eescilsm: density >1 g/cc means heavier than water
eescilsm: 4 g/cc material has twice as much matter as 2 g/cc
gfdsaq: hey mr. mitchell
eescilsm: hi there
gfdsaq: are we goin 2 have 2 make experiments on the test 2morrow?
gfdsaq: like you give us a hypothesis and we write the experiment?
eescilsm: you have to write about them, or answer m/c about them
gfdsaq: o ok
gfdsaq: thanx
eescilsm: sure
gfdsaq: and how much is this worth towards our marking period grade?
eescilsm: which class are you in? who is this?
gfdsaq: im in honors
gfdsaq: its .................
eescilsm: the test is .5 of your interim grade
gfdsaq: uh oh
eescilsm: so it will end up .25 of your mp grade
gfdsaq: ok
eescilsm: so it will be .05 of your course grade
gfdsaq: yah aight thanx
eescilsm: anything else?
gfdsaq: nah
gfdsaq: not now
gfdsaq: thanx
eescilsm: ok, bye
gfdsaq: latA
cfrtyuiew: hey mr. mitchell its ............ , mind if i ask u
a question?
eescilsm: go ahead
cfrtyuiew: how many steps are in the scientific method?
eescilsm: the way we went through them, 8
cfrtyuiew: k thats like the ID the problem,research, hypothesis, test, conclusion and
stuff?
eescilsm: yep
cfrtyuiew: k thanks c ya tomorrow
eescilsm: bye
cvbnm: hello
eescilsm: hi
cvbnm: is this Mr. Mitchell
eescilsm: it sure is - who is this?
cvbnm: this is Cvbnm Lkjhgf
eescilsm: hi - more questions? i hope not still about liters and cc's
cvbnm: no I think i get it
cvbnm: you take 1.0
grams
eescilsm: all right!
eescilsm: i take 1.0 grams..
cvbnm: and change it to kilograms you have .0001km
cvbnm: is that right
eescilsm: km stands for kilometers
cvbnm: kg**
eescilsm: too many decimals
eescilsm: move it 3 places
cvbnm: right you have deka and hecto
cvbnm: and then you
get to kilo
cvbnm: .001
eescilsm: yep
cvbnm: ok and centi and milli you move the decimal
to the right if you were starting @ 1.0 for cm you would have 100 cm
eescilsm: say again?
cvbnm: again @ 1.0 grams and cm would = 100cm
eescilsm: grams and cm measure different things
cvbnm: oh man
cvbnm: oh I mean 1.0
meters =100 cm
eescilsm: 1 gram = 100 centigrams = 1000 milligrams
cvbnm: right
cvbnm: EASY
eescilsm: = .001 kilograms
cvbnm: right
cvbnm: i get it
eescilsm: 1 kilometer = _____ meters?
cvbnm: 100 meters
eescilsm: 100?
cvbnm: 1000??
eescilsm: yep
cvbnm: so you move it 3 places
cvbnm: ok
eescilsm: yep - three zeros, three places
cvbnm: ok
cvbnm: 3
grams=300centigrams
eescilsm: you may want to check out http://www.oocities.org/CapeCanaveral/7639/foundtn
s/fdtsthlp.htm
eescilsm: right
cvbnm: ok
cvbnm: good
cvbnm: ok i don't get the cubic cm
eescilsm: what don't you get?
cvbnm: does a cubic cm=1ml
eescilsm: yes, they are the same volume
eescilsm: by the way, i just added this conversation to the web site
cvbnm: oh great
eescilsm: i always change names, emails and im screen names
cvbnm: do we need to know that exact poplulation of the world and us
eescilsm: within a hundred million for the world
cvbnm: ok like 6billion that is what i put for the lab
eescilsm: 6.? billion
cvbnm: oh 6,170,664,614
cvbnm: i need to know that
eescilsm: yep
cvbnm: oh
cvbnm: and for the world
eescilsm: ?
cvbnm: i need to know the pop. for the us too
eescilsm: sure - why not?
cvbnm: oh great
cvbnm: examples of nonrenewable
eescilsm: :-)
eescilsm: what are you asking?
cvbnm: do I need examples of nonrenewable resources
eescilsm: sure
cvbnm: ok
cvbnm: ok
cvbnm: ok thanks see ya tomorrow
eescilsm: bye

that is a good outline for an experiment, but that
particular objective relates to science providing good
knowlege to use as the inventory step in the
management cycle

If the mass of my ring is 3.5 grams, if its volume is
0.5 cubic centimeters, what is its density?

volume is how big something is, density is how much

Using AOL Instant Messenger:
sdfghjklzxcv: mr. mitchell?
eescilsm: hi there
sdfghjklzxcv: what do you mean when you say, explain
the relationship between rectangular solid and fluid volumes in SI?
eescilsm: 1000 cubic centimeters
of fluid is one liter
eescilsm: so one cubic
centimeter of fluid is ____ ml?
sdfghjklzxcv: 1/1000?
eescilsm: hello?
sdfghjklzxcv: ?
sdfghjklzxcv: 1/1000?
eescilsm: no, one ml is
1/1000 of a liter
sdfghjklzxcv: oh
eescilsm: so 1 ml is _________
cubic centimeters?
sdfghjklzxcv: i dont know..i dont get it
eescilsm: if a liter is 1000
cubic centimeters, and 1 milliliter is 1/1000 of a liter, then 1 ml is 1/1000 of 1000
cubic centimeters, which is ....
eescilsm: 1 cubic centimeter is
exactly the same thing as 1 milliliter
sdfghjklzxcv: o
sdfghjklzxcv: but what does the question want me to do?
eescilsm: liters are for
measuring fluids (liquids and gases), cubic centimeters measure any volume - solid or
fluid
sdfghjklzxcv: ok...thank you bye
eescilsm: the objective says you
should be able to explain that the volume of a fluid can be measured with either liters or
cubic centimeters
eescilsm: by the way, who is
this?
sdfghjklzxcv: lkjhgf
sdfghjklzxcv: 4th period
eescilsm: hi lkjhgf!
eescilsm: anything else?
sdfghjklzxcv: no thanks...thanks for your help
eescilsm: ok, bye
