What
have you learned about absorption and liquids based on your experience
with our zero g investigation so far? Respond by creating a new post
below. You can add your name for credit by putting your initials and what period you have Mrs. Heins for science. Example - KH2 (Kaci Heins, 2nd hour).
Mrs.Heins taught us that the liquid in space or Zero G, bonds together so they need a way to clean it up. Cotton is the most absorbent and that its important to clean up spills on the ISS. FS4
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot about fabric and how it absorbs liquids. I also learned how to find the mass of a fabric with liquid in it. I never knew that using a microscope could be so fun!! (SA4)
DeleteMrs.Heins tought me how to measure mass of clothes. She also tought me all about 0 g. (ss6)
DeleteI learned which fabrics will absorb a lot and the fabrics that will repel the liquid. I also learned how to use a microscope and the parts of a microscope.(HC1)
DeleteMrs.Heins tought me how to figure out how much water was absorbed by the fabric you are using.(DB6)
DeleteMrs. Heins has tought me about the total mass of fabrics that have absorbed a certain amount of liquid. Also, she taught us how to find the amount of liquid absorbed into the fabric. YOU ROCK, MRS.HEINS! (TB6)
DeleteI learned that cotton is more absorbent than microfiber, which is made to be more absorbent than other fabrics. (DOB1)
DeleteSo far, I have learned that cotton is the most absorbent fabric and Gore-tex fabric is not absorbent at all!! (NM6)
Deletei learned alot in this project, the thing that really surprised me most was how wool repelled the water and how cotton absorbed the most water instead of microfiber

DeleteI am learning many cool things about fabric. Things i am learning about fabric included vocabulary words such as wicked.(ED4)
DeleteI think this is a really cool unit to be able to experience because it shows me how science can relate to real life. In my zero g investigation, I have learned that liquids such as water absorb well in some fabrics but reflecs off of others. Cotton best absorbs liquids and wool reflects liquids the most. We also got to look at these fabrics under a microscope and this was helpful because we could see what the liquid will go into when we put water on the surface. I think this is a really fun experiment. MS2 (megan, not makenna)
DeleteThis project has really tought me a lot about fabrics that I really didn't know or expect. First of all I am very surprised that wool is a wicked fabric and it repells the liquid instead of absorbing it. Also how polyester actually absorbed more liquid than wool, which is hard to imagine because it is a very thin fabric. I am surprised cotton absorbed more than the microfiber as well because to me cotton is a thicker fabric so I thought that it would act as wool and repell the liquid but I stead absorbed it. (HL3)
DeleteMrs. Heins taught us about absorbancy in zero g. i learned that microfiber absorbs the most with cotton coming close in second but on the other hand wool is a wicked fabric so it repels most of the water. (cr1)
DeleteI learned that certain materials do certain things to liquids. Like absorb it, whick, and repell liquids.
Delete(ZRH4)
I learned the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic.Hydrophilic means that it can absorb water and hydrophobic means it repels water.SS4
DeleteI absolutely loved this unit because we got to learn so many things. I even learned a couple new words, like wicking and absorption. I have also learned how to find the mass of the fabrics with and without liquids absorbed in it. One of the most suprising things was that microfiber absorbed the most and wool wicks the most liqued. All in all, the zero G unit was so much fun! (AV2)
Deletei learned about cotton and it was interesting.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Heins taught me about absorbant fabric and how to tell the final mass RD6
ReplyDeletemrs. Heins taught me alot about absorbant fabrics, cotton is a main absorbing fabric and can clean up easily in space or ZeroG. KL1
ReplyDeleteI learned the difference of fiber yarn and fabric and how they relate. I also learned what fabrics look like under a microscope. I also learned wicking and absorbing fibers. (BB6)
ReplyDeletei learned about many things from this project, including, absorbant fabrics and how to find the final mass of the fabric, i also learned about hydrophillic and hydrophobic cloths. wicking and the cspillary action is another thing i learned in science. RC6
ReplyDeleteI learned about many things form this project, including, absorbant fabrics and how to find the final mass of the fabric. I also learned about hydrophillic and hydrophobic cloths. Wicking and the capillary action is another thing that I learned in science class.
DeleteI have learned a lot with this experiment. At first, I thought that cotton would not absorp the liquids so well, but after the experiment it turned out that it was the most absorbant fabric tested. On the other hand, I thought wool WOULD be an absorpant fabric and then turned out the opposite as well. Also, I learned more about zero gravity and different fabrics and their terms. In conclusion, it has been a very fun and interesting experiment so far! (KC-G1)
ReplyDeleteI learned that cotton and microfiber are both good at absorbing liquid. Where as with the wool, it takes a little while to soak in. Polyester barely absorbed anything because it is so thin. There really isn't a place for the water to be absorbed to. Overall this is a very fun experiment and I look forward to learning more. CP6
ReplyDeleteI have learned already much about liquids in zero-g. I know that in zero-g a liquid will clump together and form a sphere because a sphere is the most energy officiant shape. I have also learned that cotton or microfiber make great absorbers in our earths gravity and I am excited to see the result in zero-g. Wool will not absorb much fluid and polyester will not absorb any(according to my test results). Today we got to take a look at the fabrics under the micrscope and it was SO COOL! I have loved this unit and thank Mrs. Heins for bringing it to us very much.(TV4)
ReplyDeleteMy teacher Mrs. Heins has been teaching the 6th grade about fabrics in 0g. The things that I learned so far are that when you put water on a fabric that doesn't take in water it turns in to a circle it dose this because its the easiest shape to turn into. There are only some fabrics we are testing and that wool, cotton, polyester, and micro fiber. On test day we tested wool, the wool didn't show any water take in. The polyester took in 3.45grams of water that really amazed me! Today we used the microscope we looked at pond water turns out there worms and other weird bug in it and that was only on drop of waster think of the whole pond filled with those little bugs and worms. So far this unit had been really fun.

DeleteI learned so much during this unit. One thing that I learned is that hyrophobic means that it repels water and does not combine with or dissolve in water. Hydrophilic means that it has an attraction to water. As a result of my tests, I concluded that microfiber absorbs the most amount of liquid. I think that this is a great unit and that Mrs. Heins should continue to share this in the future with all of her 6th grade students. (JM P-1)
ReplyDeleteI learned that some fabrics are hydrophilic, and others are hydrophobic. Also, today we got to look at fabrics under a microscope, which was very interesting. I enjoyed this unit very much. AA6
ReplyDeletei learned about water that repels and asorb. EW6
ReplyDeleteI learned about what farics absorb and which ones absorb the most water and the ones that dont absorb very well. I also learned what hydropholic and hydrophilic mean and how they conect with th expirement. (ML6)
ReplyDeleteMrs Heins has taught us how the aborbence of fabrics. For example, hydrophobic fabrics declines the liquid, it doesn't absorb it. However, hydrophilic contains the liquid, it absorbs it. In this unit I have learned so much. I think this is a fantastic experiment and mrs Heins should share it with all the future students. (KAL3)
ReplyDeleteI have learned that wool is not that absorbent and microfiber is very absorbant. Also i have learned that hydrophilic means absorbent and hydrophobic means not absorbent. (JH6)
ReplyDeleteI learned many things this unit, including how to find how much liquid that particular fabric absorbed by finding the mass of it before it contained the water, and after and then subtracting that to find the total amount of liquid the fabric absorbed. The results of my tests have lead me to the conclusion that microfiber absorbs the most amount of liquid. I think this is a fantastic way for students to learn about absorbent materials and hope this will continue to teach future students. I enjoyed being able to get involved and help create ways to help the teachers improve their zero gravity flight. Like helping with the mission patches and coming up with ideas on how to hold the syringes. Great unit! LA3
ReplyDeleteMrs.Heins has taught me so much about the different typs of fabrics. i found that cotton absorbs much more liquid than the wool.(DB3)
ReplyDeleteI learned some fabrics absorb better than others (AH4)
ReplyDeletei learned that some fabrics absorb a lot of water while other fabrics dont absorb any at all.(TM3)
ReplyDeleteI learned that you can find how much water a fabric absorbs by weighing it in the beginning and in the end after you squirted the water on to it.(CA1)
ReplyDeleteI learned that the most absorbent fabric is the micro fiber and the one fabric that doesn't absorb is the wool. the water just bounces off of it. The second one that absorbs the most is the cotton it also weighs a lot when there is water in it. When you squirt the water at the polyester is gets really wet and not that heavy. This is really fun and I'm so exited to continue this on Friday.SS1
ReplyDeleteI learned that different fabrics absorb water better than other fabrics. Also, that fabrics that are hydrophobic don't like liquids, and will repel it. On the other hand, fabrics that are hydrophilic love liquids, and will absorb it.(LT6)
ReplyDeleteMy teacher MRS.HEINS, has taught my cassmates and I alot. I learned that sertin fabrics have different substances that obsorbe water better than other fabrics. I learned that hydrophilic fabrics( cotton, micro fiber, and polyester)obsorbe water. The "hydrophobic" fabrics(wool) repel water and don't soak in little or no water/liquids. This is a really fun experiment and I hope to keep on experimenting and testing this project!!!!!!!!!!!!(CHH3):)
ReplyDeleteMrs.Heins has taught us a boatload. i have learned about diffrent fabrics and there absobecy. i love all of the hands on activities. i have learnrd so many things about why and why not some fabrics are absobent just bassed on what i have seen under a microscope!(KO4)
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot about how diffrent fabrics absorbe diffrent liquids. i learned that cotton, microfider, and polyester are hydrophilic witch means they obsorbe the liguid. Wool is hydrophobic witch means they repel water. it is really interesting to learnd how the fabrics are on absorbeing water because of the microscopic fibers that are inside them. i also know that Mrs. Heins is the BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!(HA1)
ReplyDeleteI learned that cotton absorbs better then wool. (MS6)
ReplyDeleteMrs.Heins is my science teacher and I learned how to measure the mass of different fabrics I also learned that cotton is the most absorbent fabric and I learned about hydrophilic and hydrophobic fabrics which repel and absorb water. I have learned a lot more from Mrs.Heins!(MG3)
ReplyDeleteI learned that all fabrics absorb at their own pace. I also learned that some fabrics are hydrophilic or hydrophobic.

ReplyDeleteMrs. Heins is awesome. We only tested water at room temperature so far. You can't dump water on fabric in ZERO G because it would stay in the bucket. You have to use a syringe. MC6
ReplyDeleteI've learned that wool and polyester are hydrophobic and cotton and microfiber are hydrophilic. (LD4)
ReplyDeletemrs. Heins taught us how to weigh the mass of fabrics when wet on Earth and in microgravity so you can't just wet it because it will float around,you have to use a syring and she also taught us that hydrophobic means that a fabric repels water and hydrophilic means it absorbs water(LL1)
ReplyDeleteIn this amazing unit I have learned so much. For example Ive learned: how to use a microscope,what hydrophilic and hydrophobic mean (hydrophilic means that it absorbs and hydrophobic means that it repels).(MS2)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a really cool unit because it shows me how science can relate to real life. I have learned so much in this unit. I learned about how some fabrics such as cotton absorb, and how some such as wool repel liquid. I also got to see the insides of fabrics through a microscope, which was awesome because I will know what the liquid is absorbing into when I place water on the surface of a fabric. Another thing I learned was how to measure the absorbency of liquids by using a triple beam balance. Also, in the experiment we have been able to find out what water would do in zero g and how to keep everything in control while you're in weightlessness. I think this is such a cool unit and I can't wait for what's next! MS2 (Megan, not Makenna)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a awesome unit. I have learned so much. I have learned which fabric is the most absorbent and the less absorbent. I also learned how to use a microscope and it was totally cool.(BH1)
ReplyDeleteI learned about hydropilic and hydrophobic fabrics, and which fabrics are hydophilic and hydrophobic.(TA1)
ReplyDeleteI have learned how to measure the initial mass of a fabric and see how much liquid it absorbed.(st6)
