Students will be able to:
use the information from hands-on activities and classroom discussions to
-review for the science FCAT 2.0.

Students did three lab activities to day to review for the science FCAT. The activities centered on reviewing physical science science concepts.

Students crushed chalk and added acid to it to observe physical and chemical changes.

Students also used slinkys to compare and contrast transverse and longitudinal waves.

Finally, students determined that the density of a fluid affects the speed of a wave by counting the waves formed in a bottle of water vs a bottle of oil.

Students should study all notes, including those taken in 6th and 7th grade in preparation for the FCAT.
