Weight & Mass? What's the diff?
Science Experiment!

Exploring Mass and Weight
How are mass and weight measured? How are these measures related to one another?
Here is the page from the textbook with the procedural write-up:

Who you callin' Buoyant?!
Who you callin' BUOYANT?!
Buoyancy and FORCES!!
First! - 25 min.
We will watch a short video on Buoyancy and experiments.
Second! 25 min.
Read page 214 to the bottom of 217 in the science textbook.
Stop and focus on language and specific examples:
TERMS
Force - is a push or pull that tends to cause an object to move or change its motion.
Floating - occurs when an upward force on a object is equal to or greater than the force of gravity pulling the object down.
Non-balanced Forces - Objects in fluids may rise or sink if these two forces are unbalanced.
Gravitational Force - pulls objects down toward the centre of the earth.
Buoyant - the liquid exerting an opposite force and tries to push it upward.
Communicate:
- How might someone measure someone's mass on the moon?
- How might someone measure someone's weight on the moon?

200g = .2kg
Gravity = 9.81kg(m/s^2)
Newton = kg(m/s^2)
