  abby , you did a good job explaining a different way to see if a diamond is foke or not. i would never of thought of your idea . your idea on the new planet was bacicly the same as mine. good job on everything.

  1)My Peer thinks that you can find out the mass of an planet is, by its tilt and how big the planet looks in a telascope. My peer also thinks that you might be able to see how many centimeters it is across and then convert them to kilometers. Then once you have the kilometers, my peer thinks that you are able to tell the size and figure out the mass of the planet. My peer also thinks that if an astronaut goes to a new low mass planet, that they will rise into space(Bye, Bye Little Guy!)
  
  2)My peer found out that density is a part of matter that describes the degree of compadness of a substance. Something else that my peer learned,that there is more volume in a ton of feathers than in a ton of bricks. My peer also did not know that there was a real person that discovered density.My peer also said that one way you can tell if a diamond is real is with a hardness scale. You could test this with a steel file or a nail. My peer thought another way to see if a diamond is real is that a real diamond would not scratch or chip like a different stone/gem called the Saphire. My peer thought that another way to tell is to send it to a lab,were they can test compackness of the diamond. A fake diamond's substance would not match the real diamond's,so that means it would be real or fake.
  
  3) I liked the way my peer's blogs were, because they were orginized. They were also full exlained and had a lot of detail. There was 1 spelling error though(you put ia; i assumed it was is. :)) But that doesn't matter. You did a great job! ;)
  
  4) I have a question for you about the 3rd blog we did(New planets and their Masses?). You said that the scientist/astronaut would float into space(Bye,Bye Little Guy). it is a really good theory, but i want to know something. How did you come up with this theory. it is not bad at all, it is really good/intresting, so i would like to know how you got that. Thanks!! :)

  (I don't even think I am doing this right)
  Emelie Watson-
  
  1:I think you learned through out blog 1, 2, and 3 that mass and volume multipled together is the density of the object.
  2:I think you learned through out blog 1, 2, and 3 that density is the phsical property of matter, the more spaced an object is the more dense it is, and that mass times volume = density of an object.
  3:It was interesting how you explained #3 on the 3rd bolg. Everything else was very detailed and nice.
  4:none

  1/2.First I want to say rachel has done an incredible job.I know rachel understands mass and density.I know this because it would have been impossible to write those blogs without having an idea of mass and density.She explains her answer and why thats her answer.
  
  3.What I found interesting about rachels blogs is that she LOVES to go into detail.I think it is awesome that she's going into detail because that shows she made an effort and cares about her grade.
  
  4.I don't have a question,because rachels work is perfect!

  1. Well, to be honest, I think that my peer has learned that mass is how much weight an object has.
  
  2. I think that my peer learned that density is how compact an object is, and it is found by doing the following eqation.
  Mass divided by Volume
  Even though density can sometimes be harder to figure out at times than others, Density has to be divided. Density is also measuerd in g/cm3 (Grams per cubic centimeter)
  
  3.I think that one thing that was interesting is that my peer has posted many short posts, even though the links we had to look at had a whole bunch of information. I'm sorry fo such a rude concern, but it is true. :(
  
  4.Why were your posts a little shorter than most of the posts i saw scrolling through???

  hey Matt Mcglynn,
  matt you learned that dencity is a physical property of matter. wow the degree of compactness of a substence or atoms.
  in dencity take two you found out the you could scratch a the back of a tile with the "dimond". A real dimond will have the least damage.
  wow you must have learned alot about mass because you put down stuff I didn't know like that the sceintists are happy because the earth is like earth. I also didn't know that they use a HARPS to measure the mass of a great distance.
  I found it interesting that they did something kind of like that in a lab last year.
  Matt how did you find out that they use HARPS to measure mass

  Hey Brian
  I think you did great on your mass blog.
  
  Mass
  
  1. Brian you said that you learned why scientists think it is exciting to find "low mass" planets. You said it was because it is easier to detect "things" on them compared to "high mass" planets. You also said that the scientist could compare things like dirt or rocks from the "low mass" planets to get information.
  
  3.I think it interesting how you explained why you didn't think there was a scale big enogh to weigh a planet.I agree!!!

  1.)I think that Olivia learned that Mass is the amount of matter in something.
  2.)I think Olivia learned that density means how much and object can hold. Also she learned that in order to find the density of af an object you have to know the objects volume and the mass to figure out the density of it.
  3.)One thing that I found interesting about Olivia's blog is that for the blog about planets and mass she put that you could find the mass of a planet with visiting the planet by using a spectrograph and then you can see the stars that wobble and you can estimate on the mass of that object. I never thought of that i thought that was a very good anwser!
  4.)One question i would ask Olivia concerning her blog would be that why don't you give more detail to when they ask you a question and you anwser it why dont you go a little further into the anwser?
  Kaitlyn!!!!Gilmore!!!!!
  Mr.Stark i thought this was hard but i kept reading threw it a few times and i feel comphident with my anwsers.

  Here is my parts for numbers 1 and 2. I couldn't do it all in one night, so I split it up. :D
  I)
  I think Dan has learned a lot about mass I think he learned that density is actually mass and volume. But instead of it being just mass and volume and not having any idea what to do with it, I think that he has learned that Mass divided by the volume of an object will lead you to the Density of an object!
  
  II)
  I think Dan has also learned a lot about density as well! Dan has learned about the facts of density. Like the fact that density is a physical property of matter! And not only did he learn that it was a physical property of matter, but the fact that it was true that the physical property of matter that describes the degree of compactness in a substance! And to be completely honest I didn’t even know that!
  
  
  P.S The person I had to review was Dan Tedesco's posts

  In the blogs we've done so far my peer has done a very nice job of answering. I think that they really understood the tasks.
  PART 1
  one thing I think my peer learned about mass wasthat scientists were excited to learn about low mass planets
  PART 2
  Somethings my peer learned about Density were that density is mass divided by volume. He also learned that density is a phsical property of matter that descrides the compactness of an object. How tightly compacted together the particles are detemains how dense an object is.
  PART 3
  One thing i found interesting was his/her idea about the satilite weighing program. this might be possible if he/she builds it in tech ed!
  PART 4
  one question i had about the blog was about the diamond thing. Dear peer, How would you test the hardness and what would you use????
  Well I've had your atention for long enough. BYE BYE BLOGGERS~Jenn Ross~

  Hello Erin,
  
  First off, I would like to say that you did some fantastic posts. They were short, sweet, and to the point! Based on reading your explanations on the blogs I know that for mass, you know that you can use other planets to measure a planet without visiting it. GOOD THINKING on that one! For density, you know that "density is the physical property of measure that describes the degree of compactness and substances. I really like that definition! One thing that I found interesting about your blogs is that you had many creative ideas to answer the blog question. And last but not least, I have one question for you. Is there another way that you could find out if a diamond is fake or real? Well, that's all for now! You did an excellent job Erin on your blogs. I enjoyed reading your. Contiune on with the great job! See you in school!

  Hi Brian
  
  Density
  
  2./4. I am confused about exactly what you ment. I think you didn't fully understand it. I think to clear up your confusion you should reread the artical.
  3. I agree it was interesting that the method of density was discoverd around 250 b.c.

  1. what i think that jake learned about mass is that it is the matter that an object eas made up of.2 what he learned about desity is that a guy that worked for the king dicoverd the topic of density.3 i found it intresting to find out is that a guy that worked for a king in 2000 b.c discoverd the topic of density. I also found it intresting to find out what he had to say about the low mass planets.4 jake, are you exited sbout continueing the study of mass and dnsity and are you exited about the harvard lab.

• jordan landry

  1: What sean learned about mass is that it is how much an object weighs or how heavy it is. I know that because he used the word mass in his blog and he used in the correct way.
  2: What sean learned about density is that it is how tightly packed atoms are or how solid they are. He found that how the king tested density by using two crowns and a bathing pool was interesting. I know this because he stated almost exactly the same thing in his blog answer.
  3: A thing that i found interesting was that he used parentheses to explain hiself more, if he felt that he was not being clear enough. He did that on pretty much every blog that he answered.
  4: How did you answer your questions. Did you use only the paragraph we were told to read or did you dig deeper and do some research. Lastly did you spend a lot of time on your blogs or just enough time to write them.
  
  Bye for now!! Happy blogging.

  Hi Kaitlyn!!!
  
  1. I think you has learned that mass is one of the elements that makes up density. She said" desnity eguals mass/ volime" in her Your think on density.
  
  2. " Density eguals mass/volume, also is how packed togehter the atoms of an element are," Kaitlyn states in Your Think on Density blog. Which is what i think Kaitlyn has learned about density since, she typed it!
  3. One thing that i found interesting about Kaitlyn's blog is she explanied herself in many ways. She explained herself by including examples in her blogs. "Scratch you finger nail and take a magnifing glass and see if it got scratched" Kaitlyn stated in Density... Take Two! She included an example by saying finger nail (you don't have to use you finger nail).
  Also she explained herself by giving more that one answer " I know..." Kaitlyn stated many times in al her blogs.
  4. The question i would ask Kaitlyn is" IS ther any ohter facts you have learned about mass?" i would ask this question because it is the only thing that i felt she could have explained more about.This is the only thing that she didn't explain about herself about so i do not have a deep understanding if she knows a lot about mass or not!
  
  overall i think she is purting her effort in!!!

  1. they learned that mass is how heavy something is.
  2. they've learned that volume is how much space an object takes up and that volume divided by mass (or something like that)is density.
  3.thier interests in blog number one.
  4.why was the chart so interesting?

  Responce-Part 1
  
  1)I think Nick knows mass pretty well! I even have some proof! Here it is:
  "first find the volume then the density and finally divide the two."That shows me that he knows how to find the mass of something. I think he has learned a lot about how to calculate mass.
  2)I think Nick also has a good understanding of density. I think he has learned that density is how tightly packed the molecules are in an object. He said that in his first blog, so that tells me that he has learned what density is based on the reading.

  1) i think my peer has learned alot about mass.It is hard to tell some things he knows about mass but i think he has a good understanding of it.
  2)i thik my peer has learned somethings about density. He found out that it is mass and volume combined.
  3)one thing i found interesting about my peers blogs are that he has a good understanding of mass and density.
  4)one question i would like to ask my peer is how do you think you could find the density of a artical of clothin.

  2)bill has a very good understanding about density and has grasp it at the first site of it.
  3) bill made his blog interesting by making it short but desccriptive
  4)i dont have a question so bill good job

  1 I think that she has a good idea on mass. she knows that to have the maulicues have to be packed in tight and usaly the more mass the heveyer.
  
  2: she seems to under stand densaty. she knows that densaty is what somthing is made out of.
  
  3:she writes the ancers clear an you know what she maens in the blog.
  
  4: do you enjoy writeing the blogs?

  reviewing Ryan Wiinikka
  1:I think Ryan understands mass. Based on his blogs on mass it shows he understands what mass is.
  2:I think Ryan understands the main idea about density maybe he could have given a little more on density but other than that he knows what density is.
  3: Something I found interesting about Ryan's blogs is that they weren't long but they told exactly what was asked to do.
  4: A question I would ask Ryan would be is maybe Did you ever think that maybe scientists could estimate or use scale units to find the mass of an object.

• Jill Scannell

  1: Based on Luke's blogs about mass I think he pretty much knows what mass is because some of his posts are small but to the point.
  2: Based on Luke's posts he knows what density is and has no trouble with it because all of the posts are very understandable.
  3: Something I found interesting about Luke's posts is that some of the things he thinks of I wouldn't have thought of.
  4: A question I would ask Luke is are there other things that they could do to find the mass of the planets?

  Hi 6S-1
  
  Density Take Two
  
  1.Brian in this actical you learned about fake and real dimonds. With the info. you learned you created a hypothesis. Your hypothesis was that if you dropped both real and fake dimond and the water would rise depending on how dense it is.
  
  4.My Question-I am wondering what made you come up with this hypothesis??

  1) I think my peer has a very good understanding of mass. I think my peer has learned how to calculate mass very well.
  
  2) I think my peer has a great understanding of density. I also think my peer has learned the formila for density very great.
  
  3) I find it interesting that that my peer uses specifics when it comes to measurements. I think it helps with the answers.
  
  4) My question is about the diamond blog. Why not test the so called diamond on something harder than a gem that rates about 7 on the MOHES hardness scale.

  1) I think Kyle has learned that mass is how massive an object is.
  
  2) By looking at Kyle's blogs I have found out that he has learned when you determine density it means you determined the mass and volume.
  
  3) I found it interesting that in Kyle's "Your thinking on Density" he rote how you can tell the difference between a real and a fake diamond.
  
  4) Do you feel that you are giving all your effort when you do your blog? I noticed that maybe there could be a little more information, but it is still great!

  Dear Hannah,
  1)I think that you have a good understanding on mass. Also that maybe after this lesson on mass you will have a better understanding on and about it.
  2)I think that you had a great idea about density. I think that at the start of this lesson on density you already had a good understanding on density and now you really know what it is if you just add what you know now to what you knew at the start of this lesson.
  3)one thing that I found interesting is on the diamond blog that we did and it's about what you said how if you hit it with a hammer and if the hammer broke it than it was a fake diamond.
  4) For the blog on the planets and masses do you thing that they could make a scale big enough to measure planets to measure the mass of it.

  Good job Jake! I think from what you put the first time on what you thought about mass was good and than what you learned from it after there was a little change in your thoughts. I think you learned a lot about mass.
  
  I think you learned a little bit of density after reading the passage. I think you basicly knew what it was though.
  
  I think the most interesting part about your blogs was how you used a lot of detail in what you were trying to say.
  
  Throughout reading all of your blogs i was really understanding what you were trying to say I think you did a good job blogging.

  1) Meaghan's opinion of Mass is that it is the same as density
  2) Meaghan learned that "the more closly packed together the prticles of a subcences they will have different density."
  3) I thnk that the part of Meaghan's blogs that were interesting was diamonds can scratch Rubies and Emerals
  4) From what i understand, mass and density are different. I was wondering if you would help me and explain how they are the same.

  1)i think my peer understood mass but just decided not to answer at their best ability.
  Like when intead of taking a guess he answered i do not know. But he did make an oppinion and opinions are important.
  2)I think my peer learned a lot about density and described it very well. one of the parts he was descriptive was when he talked about the atoms being more impact makes it denser.
  3)i found a few parts interesting. this is one of the few, on how he took interest in how Archemedis figured out the crown was fake.
  4) one question i would ask would be why do you think it is not possible to measure mass on low-mass planets?

  My peer learned that mass and volume are density. My peer learned that density is a property of matter . My peer also learned that density describes the degree of substance in something. One thing I found interesting about my peer's blogs was that she came up with the idea that gravity could be one way that scientists find the mass of other planets. One question I would ask my peer about her blogs is "Do you enjoy having Mr. Stark's blogs as your homework for science?"

  (1). I think my peer has learned a lot about mass. I think Jake has learned a lot about mass because in the story that we had to read about the mass of the palentes he mentioned a lot about the harp and how it searches for movment in the stars. And sometimes u find the mass of planets through gravity.
  (2). I think jake has learned a lot about density in many ways. I think that because with the reading that we had to do on density jake said that you can tell weather a dimond is real or fake by the way it grows.so i think he get the point of having an object get dence.
  (3). One thing that i found interesting about jakes blog is that you could really tell that he took his time and really explained his explaniton.
  (4). One question that i have is, what is a nother reason that you can tell the differnce between a fake dimond to a real one? I am asking that because i didnt really get what you said.

• Rachel Pray

  1)I think that my peer has learned about mass well, but she didn't hit the nail on the head.On the "Planets and Their Masses" article she did focus on how much matter each planet takes up, but she averted most of her attention to the economic results, not many scientific choices or reasons. Ex: "I don't think they have a scale big enough because some of the planets are 2 times our size. We wouldn't be able to fit the machine on our planet. Even if we could,it would cost too much money, and that would mean more taxes, which leads to chaos." But, I must point something else out, too: Kali did express her ideas strongly, eloquently, and with thought and care. She did though, relate some of her thought on the scientific method, which doesn't exactly relate to mass, but still connected to science in an eccentric way.Kali didn't seem to express much about the spectrograph, not taking it into consideration. Kali did seem to get a general idea of what the meaning and understanding of mass was, but she didn't recognize the spectrograph and that process, which does actually give us a satisfactory idea of the planets' masses, because we did determine that the planets were low-mass with it. I did love her insight, intuition, and wit, though- slightly palliative.
  2)Kali has strangely awed me with her passages on density. They sure weren't long and rambling, but more so short, to the point, and not completely detailed, although it did please me more than her understanding of mass.
  Ex:"Density is how closely packed together the atoms of an object are in a compound area.Closer the atoms, denser the object." She also displayed an example, which I liked too, although she didn't seem to have a full, complete thorough understanding in density. Her answers showed great, primitive, short understandings to the density blogs, but those examples she gave me were amusing and effective. In the diamond blog, she mentioned that it would be better if you scratched the diamond to tell if it were real, sticking with Moh's Hardness Scale, than focusing on the particles of the diamond. Her understanding on density was much more sublime.
  3)One thing I found interesting about Kali's blog was that she also incorporated the scientific method into density and hardness, which was a very strange yet deeply intelligent thing to do. It astonished me that Kali showed that much intellect, and also compelled me very much so.
  4)One question I'd like to ask Kali about her blog: Which is your favorite of the two: mass or density?

  My peer is Scott
  I think that he learned that mass/volume is density.
  He gave a great answer but it did not tell me what he learned very much.
  I liked and thougt the answers for New Planets and their masses.
  I liked the idea of the special rocket to calculate the aproximate mass of a planet. I also thought the idea of a special telascope to estimate the mass was interesting.
  I would ask my peer why did you make them so short. No offence but I think tey would be better if they were longer, and if you gave a little more info.
  Over all i liked your blogs.

  3)I found it interesting that in Nick's blogs he used his background knowledge of mass, volume, and density to answer a lot of the questions. He also learned a lot about density and applied this knowledge of it to help find mass.
  4)One question I would ask Nick is what does he find most interesting about density and what did he learn about it and did you apply your background knowledge to help you answer these previous blogs.

  1)Veronica has learned a lot about mass.She has learned that mass is like weight and you can usually measure it with a scale.
  2)Veronica has also learned a lot about density.She has learned that density is the compactness in a substance and how closely the atoms are packed together
  3)I found her post to the diamond blog because not many people would think to blow hot air on a diamond to test if it's real.That was really good thinking.
  4)One question I ould ask Veronica would be:
  How did you figure out that you could blow hot air on a diamond to see if it's real?

  My peer has learned that it is half of what makes density.
  
  My peer has lerned that volume and mass together make density.
  
  I found it interesting when he answered the blog density take too. He talked about how a diamond is harder than a fake one and he gave a example.
  
  I liked the blog on density take and the blog new planets and their masses.I dont have a question concerning your blogs

  1)The things that the person learned about mass is they learned that mass is how much matter an object is made up of.
  ***********************************************
  2)The person learned a lot about density and seemed to have really understood it. They learned how to find the density of an object, what density is, and when it was discovered.
  ***********************************************
  3) One thing I found interesting about this persons blogs were they were detailed with good details that supported there answer.
  ***********************************************
  4) One thing I would ask the person would be I would ask them How they got there responses so detailed.

  1.) I think my peer is a little mixed up between mass and volume because she said mass was the amount of space something takes up and thats volume. Mass is how much an object weighs.
  
  2.) I think my peer has learned half of what density is after reading the article. She described the mass in density but not the volume.
  
  3.) One thing i found intresting about my peer's blogs was that they weren't to long and they weren't to short. They were right to the point of what she was explaining.
  
  4.) I would like to ask my peer if she puts her best effort into her blogs.

  1:I think my peer (Lucas Smith) has learned alot about mass.They have learned that mass is the amount of well molicules or stuff inside an object. They also know that you can identify the mass by weighing it on a scale.
  2:My peer has learned that density is mass multiplyed by volume. They repeat this in many of there blogs. He also menchines that Density is also atoms all mixed together.
  3:I thought that little fact about how density was found in 250bc. Alsdo they were short and to the point and did not ramble on.
  4:Would you realy take a hammer and smash a dimond to make sure it was real?

  i don't think my peer has learned much about mass just that everything has mass. My peer did not do the denisty blog so i am not sure what he knows about density. I thought it was interesting that you can tell the difference from a real dinmond and a fake by looking at it i didn't know that.The one qeustion i would ask my peer would be what do you think density is since he didnt answer the first blog.

  my peer was ben q. 1.) im not sure what he knows about mass because i dont know wre it is . this what i think he nows about mass is that2.) i think he learned about volume is that when object ha smore dencity it has less atoms in it thats what he wrote. 3.) the one thing i found ninteresting was that he uses contect clues in his answer so i thought that was very interesting . 4.) the one thing i want to question on is that you need to explane your answer a little more beacause you dont really explane it much. whe i was looking at his blogs he didnt really explane his answer so i dont reallyknow why `he got that answer so thats why im commenting on that so try to write a little more.

  1 Faith talks about not being able to weigh the planet so she must know it has something to do with weight
  2 Faith has learned that deencity is the compactness of a substance
  3 I found it instresting when she said you can't break a dimond with a hammer
  4 have you tested the statement that you cant break a dimond with a hammer??

  1. i think maddie learned that mass is another word for wieght. i also think that she learned mass is not always as easy as it seams to wiegh other things for example planets. i also think that maddie did not have a hard time on any of these blogs and that she understood everything clearly.
  
  2.i think maddie learned that density is when something can be less or more dense than the other object or substance when atoms are either closly packed together or more spread apart.i also think that she learned when the atoms are packed together the item is very dense, and when the atoms are more spread apart the object or substance is less dense than the other one.
  
  3.i liked how in the second blog something that interested me was how she said that you could compare the wieght between a real diamond and a fake diamond is by figuring out the mass of each one and which ever one wieghed less it was fake.
  
  4.my question for maddie would be...did you like the planets article or did you like the diamond one aboudensity?

  I think Torie has learned a lot about mass and density. She learned that density is a physical property of matter. She also learned that denstity is mass/volume.
  What I found most interesting was that, in her new planets blog, she said that she thinks scientists would probably have to take a very good guess to figure out the mass of a planet because they are just too big. I never really thought about it that way.
  If I could ask Torie a question, I would ask why she found the "low mass" planets part of the article so exciting.
  Dan Tedesco
  p.s. The most interesting part of the article for me was the fact that scientists discovered 32 new planets outside our solar system.

  my peer was amie tuttle.
  throught reading blog number 1 2 and 3 i think you have learned alot about density and mass.
  1.)With mass you hsve learned that it is how much an object ways.
  2)with density you have learned that the mass by the volume is density.
  3)i thought your blog on diamonds was really good. the idea you had for testing if the diamond was fake was smart. you know, by scratching the diamond on a moissanite.
  4)i would like to ask amie..did you do blog number one? but that's it. she was so good at everything else!!

  Here is my answer for parts 3 and 4.
  
  
  3) The thing I found most interesting about Dan's posts is the fact that he had found a way to use a lot of detail. But when Dan used a lot of detail in his writing, he didn't kmake it go on forever like I tended to.He made it short and sweet and to the point. So he had answered all of the questions correctly and he didn't make it so his posts where he had a hundred sentences.
  
  4) If I had to have any questions on Dan's blog posts, it wouldn't be on the content of it, because I understood all of it, but it would be about the amount of things he learned from these articles. SO basically my question would be,"What did you find the most useful thing learning wise that you got out of these articles, and did you learn anything new that you didn't know before?"

  dear nick george
  
  1) i think that you know a great deal about mass but there is still a small spot for improvement.
  2) i think that you think density is mass over volume.
  3) i think that it was interisting the way you would test the diamond.
  4) i dont think that fake diamonds are made out of glass are you sure on that one?

  1. My peer knows alot about mass it was a very good discreption.
  2.My peer did good on density her blog was not to long but not to short very good job.
  3.That her blogs were very full of information and to the point.
  4.In the low mass planets one why didn't you talk about the HARPS machine

  To answer your question I just came up with the hypothesis without evan trying to come up with it. I just came up with an answer to answer Mr. Stark's question and used that to support my answer.

  1.I think my peer has learned in mass that not alot of things have the same exact mass and shape.also I think she learned that measuring the mass of an object can actualy find the exact mass of an object just like the cylinders in class
  2.I think my peer has learned that objects the same size and shape dont always have the same density because, they are made of different materials and objects like illuminum and copper
  3.What I found interesting in my peers blog is that she put alot of detail in describing what density is and how it works.

  Here is the correct spelling of my blog:
  
  Hi Kaitlyn!!!
  
  1. I think you have learned that mass is one of the elements that make up density. She said,” density equals mass/ volume" in her “Your Think on Density”.
  
  2. " Density equals mass/volume, also is how packed together the atoms of an element are," Kaitlyn states in Your Think on Density blog. Which is what I think Kaitlyn has learned about density since, she typed it!
  3. One thing that I found interesting about Kaitlyn's blog is she explained herself in many ways. She explained herself by including examples in her blogs. "Scratch you finger nail and take a magnifying glass and see if it got scratched" Kaitlyn stated in Density... Take Two! She included an example by saying fingernail (you don't have to use you finger nail).
  Also she explained herself by giving more that one answer " I know..." Kaitlyn stated many times in al her blogs.
  4. The question I would ask Kaitlyn is" Is there any other facts you have learned about mass?" I would ask this question because it is the only thing that I felt she could have explained more about. This is the only thing that she didn't explain about herself about so I do not have a deep understanding if she knows a lot about mass or not!
  
  Overall I think she is putting all her effort in!!! Keep up the great work Kaitlyn!
  
  Olivia
