This past week the students handed in their responses to Density/Buoyancy related questions as well as their follow up questions to the lab they conducted. We started talking about Archimedes Principle and why some things float or sink. They were given a handout that summarized some of the key points to read over. 8B will need to read over the handout and answer the question 'Why do boats float?' and 8A received a handout on Pressure and have been asked to complete the calculations for homework. They will eventually have a test coming up on Density, Buoyancy and Pressure.
Students were also given time to organize information for their Science Fair Project. Next week, they will be having a sharing period where they will discuss what they have done to this point (ex. Data collection, Prototypes built etc.).
