6th Grade Science Does Hands-On Experiments!

During Ms. Stumme’s class this week, we did hands-on work! It was amazing because we got to do it with a partner.
We were measuring the mass of objects. The definition of Mass is: how much matter is inside of an object. Each partnership was given objects on a tray: a set of watercolor paints, a book, a small and a large paintbrush, scissors, a colored pencil, a marker, and a ruler. All of these things were put on a triple beam balance scale that gave us the Mass in grams. After that, we could measure anything we wanted! Some people even got to find the Mass of their cellphones!
Overall, it was really fun and everyone wanted to do it again!
