Week 12

 What we learned this week

In this week we learned about different types of matter. We did the mass, volume, and density of many different objects and their size. One example of this is we did different paperclip sizes, one small one and one big one and we tried to see what the differences in them were. I thought it was really interesting how not much changed based on the different sizes of objects. We got to see whether objects were magnetic, floated, sunk, their volume, and their masses of them. This lab was great at showing us different concepts within the concept of matter itself. 

Relate what I knew to what I learned

Something I knew was that aluminum didn't rust and that it isn't magnetic, this lab really reminded me of how much I already know but it did remind me that I know a lot of things but once you ask me "why" I might get a little stuck.

Clear and Confusing

The only thing I thought was confusing was when our light kept not working, it turns out it was just the bulb itself!

Use in the Future

This lab is an awesome intro to physics for students; I think it's very engaging and allows them to really think about why things happen
