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.

Classes that did not complete the activity will do so tomorrow. Students should also draw something to remind them that mass and weight are different entities on the student input page (where the bell ringers for this week are located).

Students first completed their bell ringer, which dealt with Punnett Squares. They reviwed the agenda for the day.
Home learning was collected and reviewed.
Classes that needed to complete the lab format exercise did so (except for period 6, which attended the Grade Level Orientation, and did not complete the lab).
Students also completed the self-interaction by drawing something to remind them of the lab and writing a RAFT about the lab.
Period 3 also received and began their notebook update. All other classes will begin the update tomorrow.
