7/8 Science & Math

Here is the website link for the Particle Theory activity I would like you to watch and complete:
BBC Bitesize Science

Hopefully, after the demonstrations in class and watching the activity above, you will have a better understanding of the particle theory. So, I would like you to review your answer to the balloon popping question and make any changes or additions that you feel would make your explanation better.
I will be collecting your balloon popping response. (You can find the original question in the post from Thursday, Sept. 26th below.)

For math I would like you to finish your graph of the equation  y = 1/x .
