Notes:
Today in Social Studies, we discussed how to analyze and answer Document Based Questions (DBQs). We interpreted 7 various documents from the Civil War. We talked about how important it was to use primary sources to understand how people felt about issues during that time. We will continue to work with DBQs as the year progresses!
In Science, we talked about the art of Perfume making! A perfume is any substance that is used as a pleasant fragrance. Many cosmetics contain perfumes. Low priced perfumes called odorants are added to many products including paper, plastics, and rubber products. These help to hide unpleasant odors or to make the products more attractive to customers. Plastic trash bags, for example, may have odorants added to them to hide trash odors.
In Current Events, we read an article entitled Tire Makers Turn to Humble Dandelion for Rubber from DogoNews.Dandelions have long been considered a nuisance weed by most gardeners. However they, along with the rest of the world, may soon start treating the annoying plant with the respect it deserves. That's because the white milky sap of their taproot contains particles of rubber of such superior quality, that Dutch biologist Ingrid van der Meer, refers to dandelions as the future of road transport.
