Tarkio Jr. High Science Club

The Tarkio Junior High


Science Club recently met
and learned about the difference in density between
hot water and cold water.
Students used a jar of cold
water, a jar of hot water, food
coloring, and a jar lid.
Students filled one jar
with hot water and added
red food coloring to it. Then
students added cold water into the second jar and
added blue food coloring.
Students placed the red jar
with the hot water on top.
When they removed the
lid they saw that the red
water stayed at the top and
the blue water stayed at
the bottom. This happens
because hot water is less

dense than cold. In hot water, the molecules are moving around at a faster rate.
As a result, the hot water is
less dense than the colder
water and stays on top. This
works not only with water,
but with air as well. Hot water or air is less dense than
cold water or air. This is why
the hot water stayed at the
top of the jar and why hot
air balloons rise.
The Tarkio Junior High
Science Club meets each
week in Mr. Corringtons
room at 7 a.m. All seventh
and eighth graders are welcome to attend. The Tarkio
Junior High Science Club
will be cohosting a science
fair in April.

Here pig, pig, piiigggg!


By Kat DeRosier
For a while now, the ag
classes have received a sow,
donated by Advanced Pork
Systems. The sow is kept in
the shop and when she gives
birth to her babies, usually
around 10 to 14 little piglets,
the students learn proper
pig care until they are ready
to be shipped off.
For now, Petunia (this
years momma pig), is just
waiting for her babies to
come, which could be either
Tuesday or Wednesday. So
far, she has mostly been
left alone to her own piggie
thoughts. The classes will
feed her, water her, clean
her pen, and wait. The rest
of this story will soon be continued! Stay tuned!
