Today we were pretty busy with a discrepant event, a Powerpoint presentation on density, an exercise with formulas for volume, mass and density, as well as a little coke/diet coke can trick in a body of water. Some cool stuff. Pretty soon these kids will have magic tricks to show all their parents. I assigned for homework a “Flinker,” which is an object they have to construct that neither floats nor sinks. We will test them on Friday. They have a hand out and directions, and they can work alone or with one other person.
