| Description: | |
| Predict what will happen when a "hobo bag" containing brown sugar is placed in a container of water. Test your predictions with a hands-on experiment or watch a video. Repeat with a "hobo bag" containing salt. Extend your learning to include the concepts of solute, solvent and solution and the relative "heaviness" or density of solutions. Assess your learning with a 5-item quiz. Use graphs to compare your predictions and observations with other classes. | |
