Students will be able to:
use the information from the text and classroom discussions to
-explore and describe the densities of various materials through measurement of their masses and volumes.
-classify and compare substances on the basis of characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured; for example, density, thermal or electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetic properties, melting and boiling points, and know that these properties are independent of the amount of the sample.
STudents viewed BrainPop movies on Properties of Matter and The Law of Conservation of Mass.
Students then began the GIZMO Density Lab. Because there were major problems with connecting to the internet or getting the laptop computers to work, many students shared computers. We also did not complete the activity, but will do so tomorrow.
There will be a notebook check on Friday, so the home learning is to get the notebook ready for grading.
