LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:

-measure the mass and volume of several different object.s

-calculate the density of objects by using their measured mass and volume.

-calculate percentage error.

BELL RINGER: Kahoot on Intensive and Extensive Properties

VOCABULARY: matter, mass, volume, weight,  density, percent error, physical properties, water displacement

HOME LEARNING: HL 4 Density

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

Students reviewed matter's intensive and extensive properties by doing a Kahoot activity.

Students received HL 4 on Density. Students should write dark, as I will make a copy of their work and give them back the original. We reviewed how to complete the handout, using gradual release to show how to choose the correct answers for each colored box. Remember, each mass and volume can only be used once. You can find a copy of the page below.

This is HL 4. I will make a copy for you, so write darkly. I suggest you begin in pencil, however, as you can then erase the values that do not fit that particular box.

Students submitted interactive notebooks for a grade. Notebooks will be graded on content and completeness. This includes: having the table of contents completed, completing the assignments roster with dates and current grades, and for each topic, making sure there is a date and essential question, 3 leveled questions with corresponding answers in color (3 different colors), a summary of the main ideas of the topic, all handouts (completed), and all notes and bell ringers.

Students began the Density lab, but due to the Senior Crowing Ceremony, odd day classes did not complete the activity and will do so next week.
