1. Weighty Matters A game that measures how much you understand about the mass, weight, volume, and density of matter

2. Purpose for Playing  My purpose for playing this game is two-fold: 1. to reinforce recent learning 2. to help me see how much we know right now  Since one of my goals is reinforcement, you will be able to use your notes to look up answers.  You will work with your partner to answer the question and then write your response on your white board.  Holding up your white board before I say “boards up” will give away answers and cause students to stop looking up answers. Therefore, there is a penalty for holding up your white board too soon!

3. How to play  A slide will be shown to you.  Read the slide and discuss the question quietly with your partner.  Look up the answer in your notes if you do not know it.  Write your final answer on your white board.  When the teacher says “boards up”, hold up your board.  If you get the answer correct, you may advance your frog marker on the game board.  If you hold up your white board before the teacher tells you, you WILL NOT get to move your frog forward.  Some questions are true and false. You must correct false answers to advance your frog.  Students should take turns writing on the white board.  GOOD LUCK!

4. Let’s Try One To Practice…  True or False: To calculate density, you divide the volume by the mass.

5. Let’s Try One To Practice…  False: density = mass / volume To calculate density, you divide the volume by the mass.

6. Let’s Try One To Practice…  If you said false, move one space.  If you said that density = mass/volume, move one more space.
