Journal:


  1. A student shakes a jar with a mixture of sand and gravel types.  Instead of mixing, the sand grains separate into layers.  Why?
  2. In the spring, rivers in Utah are often brown in color because they contain very small particles of sediment called silt.  Why is silt suspended in the water?

Today we did Part 2 of the Rock Density Lab. You can use materials from home if you were absent today.

I also handed out your new I can statements and assigned the vocab as homework due Monday 11/23.

HW: Vocab from new I can statements, data due 11/23; presentation board due 12/2

  1. A student collected data about the density of air.  She found that .1 g of air had a volume of 100 cm3  .  What is the density of the air?
  2. A liquid is found to have a volume of 75 mL in a graduated cylinder.  When placed on a balance, the liquid and graduated cylinder have a mass of 125 g.  The empty graduated cylinder has a mass of 50 g.  What is the density of the liquid?

Today we did a lab measuring rock densities. Here is the lab sheet. You can use your own materials or come see me for the lab materials.
