Virtual Density Lab
Students use PhET Sim to explore density in an inquiry based lab. Check out the Sim here:: http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/density/latest/density_en.html?fbclid=IwAR09bUeRxx_DckEweccfg2_1DozdustsrS4RJYOtwDkaHwiyJ6RDzLTofPIThis lab first walks students through finding volume through water displacement. Then students explore densities of different materials with the same mass but different volume, same volume but different mass, and then same density but different masses and volumes. Finally

Probability Simulation Project
In this project, students will design and use a simulation to find the experimental probability of compound events. The simulation is meant to simulate guessing on a four-question quiz that has multiple choice and true/false questions. After students design the simulation, they will conduct trials to find the probability. They will compare experimental and theoretical probability for each question, and use their trial results to find the probability of passing the quiz. Students will also make p
