Density Lab

Today we had shortened classes due to the assembly.  Our topic de jour was density.  I designed a hands-on lab exercise that reinforced the skills that students had learned over the past couple of days, those being measuring with metric tools and units.  Students needed to determine the mass and volume of three unknown liquids and another three unknown solids.  Tomorrow, students will finish the lab by calculating the densities of the unknown substances and use those densities to predict  what those substances are based on a reference chart of known densities.
There is no homework, and the chapter one test will be on Wednesday, September 30th.
