Explore the functions of whiteboards, assess learning, and engage students through individual accountability and group discussions. Discover the contrasts between large boards and handheld options for brainstorming ideas or explaining concepts based on prior knowledge. The session includes an interactive salt-water demonstration, allowing students to hypothesize and observe results. Perfect for enhancing student engagement and understanding in science, especially for weather and density topics.

Review of Concepts Action time!!!
Prior Knowledge • Students have done a brief lesson on density including density definition and possibly formula...etc) • Students have some background on how to draw particles. • Agenda • Warm Up (density: Frayer’s model-definition, example, formula, nonexample...etc.) • Demo (Salt Water) • Group Discussion • Evaluation: Final Product (3 sentences journal)
Salt Water Demo • Materials • Water • Salt • Clear rectangular container • Divider (Cardboard) • 2 1000mL beakers • 2 different food colouring • Measure 2 containers with 1000mL of tap water. • Add Salt into one of the beaker • Add food colouring into each beaker (1 colour per beaker). • Pour into each side of the rectangular container with divider in the middle • Hypothesize and pour...
