Students will be able to:
use information from laboratory activities and classroom discussions to
-demonstrate that equal volumes of different substances have different masses.
-explain the difference between weight and mass.
-find the density of various rocks.
After collecting home learning, students performed the density of rocks laboratory. They also used power writing to write up the lab in their interactive notebooks.
Home learning was to update the notebook.
