Description
About the Lab: Students read background information on weight and answer recall questions. They then complete a lab on measuring the weight and mass of various objects using a spring scale and triple beam balance or electronic scale following very specific directions. Students will compare the ideas of mass and weight to understand that they are not the same. After, students will answer recall, application, and analysis questions about mass and weight.
Materials Needed for Each Group: triple beam balance, electronic scale, spring scale, various objects
Fully Digital Resources & Print and Go Option: My resources are avilable as print and go or digital, where you can easily distribute these materials digitally via a learning management system. Students should complete these digitally via Microsoft Word. This resource can also be uploaded to your google drive to use with Google Docs however, slight formatting adjustments may need to be made.
This Fully Digital Resource allows students to:
Easily type in the blue highlighted "click here to enter text" and answers will automatically appear in red for easy completing.
Check boxes that turn red with one click for each step in the lab procedures to follow directions easily or for selecting answers.
Follow color coded directions and corresponding colored in data tables to fill in information correctly.
Modified versions have "choose an item" drop down boxes to provide answer options.
3 Differentiated Versions: There are 3 versions of this resource - an honors, an academic, and a modified version so that you can easily differentiate for the students in your class. Honors versions ask higher level thinking questions and promote independency. Academic versions are standard based, and are on target for middle school aged grade level achievements. Modified versions focus on big concepts and main ideas to support learning.
Resources Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):
Resources aligned with disciplinary core ideas and emphasize science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts. They focus of 21st century learning skills, nature of science, and scientific method. They sometimes use phenomenon or claim, evidence, and reasoning as well. Resources are engaging and hands-on.
