ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How are mass and weight different?
RELEVANCE: Do I loose weight if I visit the moon?
NGSSS: SC.912.P.8.2; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.WHST.1
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:
-differentiate between weight and mass.
-justify why weight changes with gravitational pull.
BELL RINGER: Density problems
VOCABULARY: force, mass, gravity, weight, spring scale, balance
HOME LEARNING: update notebook
Students completed density word problems as their bell ringer. You can find the problems below.
1. 28.5 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45.50 mL of
water. The water level rises to the 49.10 mL mark, from this information, calculate
the density of iron.
2. What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 2500.0 g. The density of silver
is 10.5 g/cm3.
Solve these and place in your notebook.
Students completed the Separating Mixtures and submitted for grading.
We then watched a video weight and mass and did a stop and jot as the video played, recording two facts from the video. You can watch the video below.
This is the video on Weight and Mass. Pause or restart as many times as you wish, so that you understand all the concepts presented.
Students then worked to complete the Gizmo Weight and Mass. The completed handout will go in your notebook as a part of your notes.
