Eggs-Speriment

This week, a major concept that the Grade 5's examined was density. We discussed how different types of matter could take up the same amount of space but have different weights and masses. I bet some of you were wondering why this is important for us to know. To find out how people can really use this information in daily life, follow the link below to the Bill Nye homepage. Once again select Home Demos and physical science, but this time look under Physics to find the experiment named "Eggs-Speriment." Happy Experimenting!

Note to Parents: This experiment is directly related to the Ontario Science Curriculum. The specific expectation is that by the end of Grade 5, students will use scientific inquiry/experimentation skills to determine how the physical properties of materials make them useful for particular tasks.
