Density Lab

Due Today: Homework on Density
 We checked our notes and discussed our homework to get started today in class. We explained our thinking and emphasized our reasons for our claims.

 Next, we watched a short video on MASS.
We corrected our homework and then practiced finding the density of a variety of objects. Be prepared to discuss your predictions about which objects will sink or float.

Today, we had a quick review about how to use the Triple Beam Balance and then practiced in the lab with some simple objects.

Setting Goals

If setting goals is a challenge for you, then try using a different word or phrase, such as setting your intentions, wishes, dreams or hopes for the new school year.  Also, consider the following question:
What do I need to DO to feel the way I want to about myself in school?

The part of your answer that describes what you need to DO  is the focus.  Make a plan.

We will be discussing how goals are important for success and how your feelings can affect your choices.
