This is HL 6. Answers only on your own correctly headed loose leaf paper.

Students will be able to:
use the information from virtual activites and classroom discussions to
-describe the structure of the sun.
-recognize the features of the sun.
-determine how density relates to mass.

Students watched a BrainPop movie on the Sun.

Students then performed a laboratory exercise entitled Density mystery, where they determined how scientists can learn about the interior structure of the sun. Students used balloon models with and without marbles to simulate how the density of a sun may be different depending on what its core is made of. Students are to turn in the completed lab activity tomorrow.

Students also must turn in HL 6, which can be found at the top of this blog.
