Students will be able to:
-determine why scientists use a standard measurement system.
-describe density and calculate and compare the densities of various materials using the materials' masses and volumes.
Students completed the following bell ringer:
When a scientist conducts an experiment, it is important that he or she maintains accurate
records and shares the results with other scientists. If this does not happen, or if other
scientists are not able to replicate the results, what would most likely be the consequence?
A. The scientist will lose credibility with other scientists and society.
B. The scientist will be able to publish the results in fewer scientific journals.
C. Nothing will happen, since the purpose of science is to find answers, no
matter how they are found.
D. The scientist will actually become more successful if she is the only one able to produce
the results.
Students reviewed HL 2 and received instructions for HL 3. Students should read pages 12-21 in their interactive text. They should answer ALL questions in the book. On loose leaf paper, students should answer the Apply It! on page 18 (2-3) and the challenge on page 19.
Students in some classes completed the science safety notes, which they can review by looking at the blog from August 24/25. The notes should be placed on a Cornell notes page, and the proper questions and review should be done. Use the one on line as a template to determine how to do your notes. This should be on page 13.
Students in some classes also worked on the notes for mass, weight, volume, and density. These will be continued tomorrow for those that did not complete the notes or study sections of the notes.
