Week 12

 What did you learn this week? 

This week in lab, we did a series of exercises, that helped us to learn more about matter and its properties. We selected a marble, aluminum foil ball, chalk, playdoh, candles, and paperclips to test in our experiment. We then tested these objects in the following categories, sink/float, mass, volume, electricity, and magnetism. 

Here is our results!

Are you able to relate this information to what you already knew? 

Yes! I can remember doing similar experiments in grade school. It was nice to get a refresher of these procedures and to look at it in the perspective of a future teacher. I think it's so interesting to try and come up with possible questions students may ask during these experiments. 

How can you use this in your future teaching? 

I will use this in my future teaching as a way to help my students see, understand, and find the different properties of matter. I think that this lesson is a great hands-on activity and is highly engaging.
