Lab 12

 

1. What did you learn this week? 

This week we began by discussing our Week 11 Homework assignments with the people at our table. We talked about the things we learned, the things we found interesting, and any remaining questions we still have. Then, we continued our discussion on matter that we had started last week. This week, we talked about matter and its properties. To do this, we tested numerous objects to see if they would sink or float, conduct electricity, and if their masses and volumes changes when broken. We recorded our findings in a data table and then discussed some things we found interesting
as a whole class. 

2. How can you apply what you've learned to your future teaching? 

I think the activity that we did in class was a really great way to test so many different objects and their components of matter. I think doing something like this in my future classroom would be a great way for my students to understand what kinds of things have different kinds of properties and characteristics. 

3. Which parts did you find clear and which were confusing? 

I found the properties of matter to be clear, because I was recalling them from when I learned about it in my past science classes.
