Yr 9 rotation topics test

Today Yr 10 had to sit through a gruelling 70 minutes (I think) completing a science test based entirely on what we did last year. It was ok though because it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. So no one is really stressing about anything anymore. Right?

I have an SRP lesson tomorrow. For my SRP, I'm still thinking along the line of an experiment to do with liquid. Somehow, I will incorporate something interesting into it, because liquid itself is pretty boring.

Hopefully, I can make it interesting! (fingers crossed) Maybe I can put something into the water? Like, which types of paper soak more water during a set time period? As in recycled paper, white paper, crumpled? paper, tissue paper, toilet paper, torn paper, photo paper, cardboard(paper?), newspaper, wrapping paper, wallpaper, magnetic paper, paper with glue stuck on it???...what other kinds of paper are there?
I'm positive there are heaps more.

But with the experiment, I will of course limit the number of variables. It makes it less confusing for myself!
