Social Studies- During class we will discuss the meaning of population density and compare it to our community .

Talk ablout the implications of population density.

Math- Use known masses and volumes to calculate density.

Science- Students will compare the density of water with other objects by determining if they float in water.

Math G.MG.2 Apply concepts of density based on area and volume in modeling situations (e.g., persons per square mile, BTUs per cubic foot). Science PS-3.1 Distinguish chemical properties of matter (including reactivity) from physical properties of matter (including boiling point, freezing/melting point, density [with density calculations], solubility, viscosity, and conductivity). Social Studies Standard WG - 3: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics, distribution, and migration of human populations on Earths surface. Indicator: WG 3.4 Evaluate the impact of human migration on physical and human systems including changes in population density, the use of resources, and the provision of services (e.g., the environmental costs of refugee settlement camps in Africa).
