Learning PS.1 The student will demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning, logic, and the
Content

Objective nature of science by planning and conducting investigations in which

b) length, mass, volume, density, temperature, weight, and force are accurately
measured
Online The teacher will record an introductory video on length, mass, volume, density, temperature,
Activity weight, and mass. All the materials will be provided to complete the assignments online. The
students may use the video to take notes or to refer to when needed.

After the students view the video, they may access the simulations through Gizmos to practice
and further their understanding on the topics. There are worksheets and vocabulary sheets to
aid students during the simulations and to use as study guides.

Students will click on the links below to go directly to the specified topics above to access the
simulations and the additional materials. The teacher will provide login information. Having
an account guarantees unlimited time to view and use all the available simulations.
