Classifying Objects
In this activity, you will be given a set of objects and asked to identify them based off their physical properties.
  1. On ONE Chromebook spin the wheel to see which physical property your team lands on.
  2. Find the object made out of this material.
  3. Collaborate (discuss nicely) with your team, being sure to let everyone have a turn to justify their answers.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Engage students in a hands-on activity where they can practice classifying objects based on their physical properties. Provide a variety of objects with different physical properties for them to sort.

Slide 13 - Sleepvraag

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Write down 2 things you learned in this lesson that can help your design team with The Cooler Project.

Slide 14 - Open vraag

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 1 idea your design team has brainstormed for The Cooler Project using today's mass lab data.

Slide 15 - Open vraag

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you don't understand yet about classifying mass.

Slide 16 - Open vraag

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
