This bundle includes the written portion, lab portion, and the rubric for the test at the end of our Properties of Matter unit. The test is made to be application and problem solving based, not recall. We realized the world is in need of thinkers and problem solvers not regurgitators of information, so we revamped our tests to guide in that direction. Students must use the concepts of mass, volume, density, weight, and gravity to complete the problems on the test and compete the lab.

Finding Mean in a Concrete Manner Using Graduated Cylinders
Finding MEAN in a concrete manner! This was a real "aha" moment for my students in actually understanding the concept of mean. Students are asked to fill graduated cylinders (or beakers) with water to the following amounts (in mL): 70, 30, 90, 20, 50. Then they fill in the corresponding amount with colored pencil on the worksheet. Students are asked to distribute the water in the cylinders so that each of the containers has the same amount of liquid and record the amount in each cylinder.
