Graphing - Density Activity - Followup to Mass & Volume Activities
This is the third activity that takes data from the Mass Activity and Volume Activity to put them together to get the density of marbles. Students don't take any new data, but use their previous measurements of volume and mass to:1) create a Mass vs Volume graph, 2) draw a best fit line through their data,3) calculate the slope of the line, 4) write the equation of the line, and 5) use it to calculate the expected mass of 14 marbles to be compared to the actual mass of 14 marbles.For this activi

Graphing Activity - That Mu You Do - With Key
I do this activity with my freshman pre-algebra class to have them get experience with graphing "real data" points, then finding the slope of the "best fit line" and making meaning of what they did. A regular question in math class is "when am I ever going to use this?" This activity gives them something tactile to do with their hands that then makes the data points and the graph itself have real meaning for them and not just be numbers / dots on the page. I follow this activity up with "Graphin

Importance of learning science
Learning science is particularly important for students as it equips them with the essential knowledge and skills to make sense of the world around them. Science education is not just about memorizing facts. It fosters critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are not only useful in school but also in everyday life beyond the classroom.
Benefits of learning science
Learning science offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. In fact, it helps students:
- Question the world around them and seek evidence-based explanations
- Cultivate their ability to observe, experiment, and analyze data
- Nurture a sense of curiosity, awe, and wonder about the natural world
- Understand natural phenomena and the laws that govern the universe
With a solid foundation in science, teachers can help empower students to think critically, solve problems, make informed decisions, and engage with the world around them in meaningful ways.
Teaching with science resources
One of the best parts about science class is all of the possibilities for hands-on, collaborative learning! Think: labs, experiments, inquiry-based activities, and design challenges. These activities encourage students to explore scientific concepts by observing, asking questions, and conducting investigations. Additionally, with small group centers, students can engage in group experiments, discussions, and projects that require them to collaborate, share ideas, and solve problems together.
