Science at Bangor & in the News
In Science 9 we wrapped up the unit on particles & matter. We spent the week on density: the amount of stuff (matter) in a certain amount of space (volume). This week we began using the relationship between density, mass, & volume to solve problems using algebra. This idea was a challenging one, so we will practice problem solving some more next week before the end of unit assessment. We wrapped up the week with a lab practical. Each group chose a sample of material and needed to identify what the material was made out of. In order to be successful, the groups had to accurately measure mass and volume so that they could calculate the density.
Chemistry finished the unit on energy and states of matter and took the end of unit assessment on Friday. Before the assessment, we learned about how much energy gets absorbed or released in systems. To do this, we took what we were doing with the LOL charts & started to put numbers to the energy flow. This was very challenging and I am very proud of how hard the students worked to understand what we were doing.
