Today we are: Reviewing and learning about where to go to review.
I will: Review the key topics
I can: classify matter by states
I can: classify matter by composition
I can: describe solutions and their components and properties
I can: explain viscosity and density
I can: calculate density, mass and volume for different matter
I can: explain density and buoyancy







1.  Let's review as a class to start.

2.  Now we will look at the last topic we covered.  You have a questionnaire here to complete.

3.  Lastly, lets look at what we can use to study or prepare for the exam.

Sci8 - Matter: Topic 4: Flow Rate Lab

Today we are:  Experimenting with Viscosity and Flow Rate
I will: learn how viscosity affects flow rate.
I can: collect data and create a bar graph of the data.
I can: adapt an experiment to create different results.
I can: relate the data to my current understanding.






1.  Let's go to the lab and experiment with flow rate.

2.  When you are done, make a data table that shows the results of the experiment.  They should include materials and distance travelled.
