Warm-up 2/6/12: Complete the sentences according to what you learned in the Mass and Change Lab If we take a marshmallow and smash it into a tiny ball, its mass will ________. (increase, decrease, or stay the same) This is because __________________ _______________________________.

Today 1.Wrap up Mass and Change Lab: What did we learn? 2.Demonstration: What happens when we mix sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate? 3.Video: What is Mass? 4.Complete Mass and Volume Table 5.Exit Task: Daily Reflection Sheet

Learning Targets Explain the difference between mass and volume. When objects change form, what happens to their mass?

Mass and Change Lab: Summary StationWhat did we change? Difference in mass (g)

Conclusion: When an object changes form, the mass stays the same. In a closed system, MASS IS ALWAYS CONSERVED.

Demonstration Describe what you saw happen when the two substances were mixed together. Predict what happened to the total mass. Does this demonstration tell us the same thing as the Mass and Change Lab?

What is mass? Eureka! Mass Video

VolumeMass What is it? Amount of space a substance takes up Amount of stuff an object has in it How can we measure it? (Tools and methods) Beaker, Graduated Cylinder, Flask Electronic scale, balance What are the units of measurement? Liters (L), milliliters (mL) Grams (g), kilograms (kg)

Exit Ticket Put the following in order from MOST massive to LEAST massive: Wood block, styrofoam block, lead block (they are all 10cm³)

Warm-up 2/7/12 When we dissolved the Alka-Seltzer, the mass of the system did not change. Where did the matter go, or how did it change?

Today 1.How to draw particle diagrams 2.Particle diagram practice 3.Finish worksheet for homework

Learning Targets Explain what happens to mass when an object changes form. Use particle diagrams to show how substances change at a particle level.

What is a particle diagram? A model that shows substances at an atomic level Scientists use particle diagrams to help them visualize how particles interact. What are particle diagrams really showing? Zoom in to Aluminum

Particle diagrams … Show particles as circles or other shapes Show more MASS by showing more PARTICLES

Particle diagrams … Distinguish between different types of particles by using different shapes

Warm-up 2/9/12 Make a list of things that you think are DENSE and NOT DENSE. DENSENOT DENSE

Today 1.Density Lab a)Part 1: Mass, volume, and density of your metal b)Part 2: Whiteboard summaries c)Part 3: Comparing group data 2.Exit Task: Daily Reflection Sheet AND Exit Ticket

Learning Targets Explain the relationship between mass, volume, and density. Identify an object based on its density.

Density Lab Part 1 Visit Station 1 and Station 2 Collect data and record in your chart After data collection, do your calculations

Density Lab Part 2 In your groups, use your data to make 3 graphs: – Number of metal pieces vs. mass – Number of metal pieces vs. volume – Number of metal pieces vs. density Put your graphs on a whiteboard and be ready to share with the class.

Density Lab Part 3 Get together with a group that has the same letter color as you. – Compare your metal pieces. What is the same? What is different? – Compare your graphs. What is the same? What is different? Write a conclusion: What does this lab tell us about density, mass, and volume?

Learning Targets Define density. Explain the relationship between mass, volume, and density. Identify an object based on its density.

Figure out your mystery metal! Look at your density data from the Density Lab. According to your data, which type of metal did you have?

What is density? Density = Mass ÷ Volume Density is a measure of how tightly packed particles are in a substance MORE dense = MORE stuff in the same amount of space

Showing density in a particle diagram When particles are closer together, they are showing that a substance is MORE DENSE. Each particle is a tiny, tiny bit of mass. Which particle diagram shows a high density?

Density vs weight Which one has more mass: the stopper or the cork? Which one is more dense, the stopper or the cork? Mass (weight) = how much stuff is in a substance Density = how packed the substance is
