Earth Science
A place for my students to get some help in Earth Science


Tuesday, September 09, 2003  

The first week will be devoted to administration like Delaney cards, handout intro, Discussion of lab etc,
grading policies.
I also want to some assessment of basic skills. Today we will discuss the relationship of mass and
volume or density. The formula for finding this is D= M/V. Examples that worked well were the pipe vs
the wood or tile vs wood. I also discussed how to get the area or square measure of an object like a
room or the cubic one or volume. Using a linear measuring device like a tape measure or meter stick, you
can determin area and volume of a room. To find mass a scale is used like a triple beam balance, and the
reul wll be in CCs or centimeters cubed or milliliters. Countertops are also a choice that may be affected
by density and price. I compared a wood vs granite one
