Physical properties of matter review using pennies Mass, Volume, and Density Lab
Physical properties of matter review using pennies to find mass, density, and volume.
Supplies
You will need many pennies for this lab
15 each of 1981 and older ones and 1983 and newer ones per group.
Triple balance beam per group or a central few
Small graduated cylinder approximately 50mL
I did this with my 6th grade science class, it give them a hands on comparison that density is different from volume and that density of the same materials stays the same no matter the weight.

Kirchhoff's Laws ATL - Differentiation
The six teaching approaches and five learning approaches serve as guiding principles for educators and students within IB World Schools. These approaches revolve around a continuous cycle of inquiry, action, and reflection—a dynamic interplay of questioning, doing, and thinking that shapes the daily activities of both teachers and learners. I have prepared this lesson in light of these ATL. I know from my experience, that the student always struggles in this topic and find it hard. so I prepared

Quadratic Function Activity About Your Dental Arch
Through this activity students will discover properties of parabolas while comparing the parabola they all carry around with them every day - their dental arch. Students will brainstorm ways to measure a dental arch and ultimately take an "impression" of their arch by taking a bite out of a slice of bread. Then they will trace their arch onto a graph, use the graph to generate a table of values, and then use the table to plug into an equation for the most "perfect" dental arch. Students love

Isotopes and Average Atomic Mass
The fictional element, nailonite, is central to this inexpensive laboratory activity. Other than a balance, the only material required for this activity is a sample of 10-25 total nails of three different sizes for each lab group. Each nail in the sample represents one of the three isotopes of the element. This simulation allows students to actually measure the mass of each of the three isotopes, and, after calculating the relative abundance of the isotopes in the sample, calculate the average a
