8th Grade Physical Science Google Apps

Our assignment contains 12 different questions, each challenging students to solve real-world problems involving density. The questions range in difficulty, providing opportunities for students to practice and apply their knowledge of density calculations.

**An Answer Key has been added!**

Included Skills:

• Simple problems to introduce density calculations
• Students solve problems using the variables volume and mass.
• Decoding word problems

In addition to being a valuable learning tool, our assignment is also self-correcting and requires zero preparation. This means that students will receive immediate feedback on their answers and teachers won't have to spend time grading. The assignment is also suitable for use in stations, on choice boards, for independent review, or for early finishers.

To do these activities, you will share the included Google Sheet with your students via Google Classroom. A video has been added for this preview! A short clip that demonstrates that pixels appear as answers are correct and boxes change to green when answers are correct.

Benefits of this resource:

• Distance learning and in-person classroom friendly!
• NO PREP - Assign and go!
• Auto-graded

One "mini" lab that will help students observe and make connections that all objects have energy, even when they are not moving.

Materials Needed

Plastic Bowl

Assorted rocks and pebbles

Ruler

These short activities reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period. They are also activities that are safe for use in the classroom and do not have to be done in a lab or with any specialty equipment or materials. I often use these demonstrations to lead into new content, that way as we cover material I can refer back to the things that my students have experienced first hand.
