2. Which change was greater for your group volume or mass? Explain
3. Was there a change in the density of your bear? Why?
4. Share anything else you would like us to know about your bear or your experiment.
5. Your initials or your first names (no last names please!)

Measurement

Hello 8th Grade Scientists!

My question for you today, is how do you use measurement in your life?
I know that I use measurement ALL the time! I want you to think of as many ways as you can that you use measurement on a daily basis.

1. List your ways that you use it.
2. Tell a cool measurement story (if you have one)
3. Let us know who you are (name or initials)
