Mix and Flow of Matter - Density and Buoyancy
Focusing Questions: What are fluids? What are they made
of and how do we use them? What properties of fluids are
important to their use?
GLO: 3. Investigate and compare the properties of gases and
liquids; and relate variations in their viscosity, density,
buoyancy and compressibility to the particle model of matter
SLO: Investigate and compare fluids, based on their viscosity and
flow rate, and describe the effects of temperature change on liquid
flow
SLO: Observe the mass and volume of a liquid, and calculate its
density using the formula d = m/v [Note: This outcome does not
require students to perform formula manipulations or solve for
unknown terms other than the density.]
SLO: Compare densities of materials; and explain differences in the
density of solids, liquids and gases, using the particle model of matter
SLO: Describe methods of altering the density of a fluid, and identify
and interpret related practical applications (e.g., describe changes in
buoyancy resulting from increasing the concentration of salt in water)
Assessments: quizzes, unit exam, worksheets
I taught Science 8 for the last 5 weeks of my internship,
covering the topis of buoyancy and density, and beginning
the unit on light and optics,
