During this Unit, students will conduct several investigations focused on calculating the density of matter. By conducting experiments, investigating different variables, and utilizing formulas, students will begin to draw conclusions concerning the relationship between the mass and volume of an object and the density of that object.
Through performing experiments and participating in class discussions, students will begin to comprehend that all matter found in the world around them has density. This Unit will promote students’ awareness of matter and density that they encounter in their daily lives, building continuity between classroom investigations and daily applications.
Conceptual Themes addressed in this Unit:
- Properties of Matter
- Concentration
