Class Activity: week of 10/9/2015

Today you will work in groups of three or four to create a google doc or google slides presentation about density.  

Assignment Directions:

Part 1: Reviewing Your Group's Density Problem

1.) Get into your group (I will be assigning groups).

2.) Take out your "Density Worksheet".

3.) Determine which problem from the Density Worksheet is assigned to your group. 

You can find this by checking the bright green post it on your table. A picture of all of the post-its is included here  as well (table near the windows = 1+2, etc).

4.) Go over your group's question together. Make sure each group member understands how to answer the question. Check that each group member has the same answer. 

Part 2: Creating a Presentation on Your Group's Problem AND Definitions

5.) Get your Chromebooks, login, and navigate to this blog :)

6.) Have ONE group member create either a google doc, or a google slides. That group member should then share the document with the other group members. *Make sure your choose "Can Edit".

7.) Define the following terms in your google doc or slides: DENSITY, MASS, and VOLUME. You may include diagrams or pictures to make your definitions more clear and interesting!  Each group member is responsible for typing and presenting one definition. If your group has four people, the fourth person must find and explain at least one diagram or picture about density.

8.) Your group will be explaining how to solve the problem you went over from the Density Worksheet.  Each group member is responsible for typing and presenting one letter below (A-D) . 

                         Your explanation must include:

                          A.) The knowns and unknown (ex: known: V = 7mL, M = 12g; unknown: D)

                          B.) The written out FORMULA you used to solve the problem (ex: D = M/V) 

                          C.) The formula with the numbers you used WITH UNITS (ex: D = 12g / 7mL)
                          D.) The answer WITH UNITS (D = 1.71g/mL)

Part 3: Presenting and Sharing

9.) Share your presentation with me, and choose the option "Can Comment".  **If your group finishes early, then you may begin the HW (Unit #3 Outline: Solids and Fluids". Several links were posted on this blog to help you define the terms on the sheet!

10.) Present your project to the class. While other groups are presenting, you should be listening and checking your HW to see if you got the same answer as the presenting group!
