Block 1.2 Thurs April 19th

Block 2.1, 2.2 Friday April 20th

Please remember: there will be a “layering” question.

In the Density Mystery experiment you did (p 266 and 267) you had to predict, and then measure, the density of 9 items. Layering them meant putting the item most dense, at the bottom, the least dense, to the top. Watch the youtube video to help you out with the concept of Density!!!
