Science- Making Sense of Mass

Hello from the Science Center! Students just completed their first practice exam- a test of all that they learned about mass and matter. We made some test corrections to practice that important skill of checking what you know and don't know so you are ready for the next one.  As we close the loop on our physical science unit, we took a little time to consider some of our first questions. Knowing that all matter has mass and all mass is effect by gravity let us take a more informed look.  Anyhow, here are a few fun queries. We did a little more than consider that last one- we modeled it! If you fill a water bottle most of the way up, the air bubble behaves just like a helium ballon and the water in the bottle is a good model for the air around the helium balloon.
