Matter, Volume and Density

Essential Questions:
  • Does mass does not change in a closed system?
  • Does density change when mass or volume changes?
  • What happens to the mass when a substance changes in some way?
  • How are Mass, Volume and Density related?
  • What is the relationship between volume, mass, and density:
  • Objects made from the same (homogeneous) substance have the same density regardless of shape or size
  • How does density tells us about the amount of mass in one unit of volume of a substance?
  • When mass & volume increase proportionally, the density stays the same
  • Density is a property of a substance.
Standards Addressed:
  • P.CM.06.12 Explain how mass is conserved as a substance changes from state to state in a closed system.
  • S.IP.07.13 Use tools and equipment (spring scales, stop watches, meter sticks and tapes, models, hand lens, thermometer) appropriate to scientific investigations.
  • S.IP.07.14 Use metric measurement devices in an investigation.
  • S.IP.07.15 Construct charts and graphs from data and observations.
  • S.IP.07.16 Identify patterns in data.

#5 Will it Float? Cornell Notes (CN)
​18 Sept, Monday

  1. Create a Cornell Notes sheet and write down a prediction What will happen if we drop different cans of soda into water? Will they sink or float to the top? 
  2. Write down your ideas on a sheet of paper. 
  3. Observe as your teacher puts each can into the tank OR watch THIS video. Is it what you expected?
  4. Write your ideas in your notes about WHY you think the diet soda can floats and the regular soda can sinks.
  5. Share your answer with a partner.
  6. Add your tables "why" to the PADLET below. 
There was NO WRONG ANSWER. I want you to think about the different ideas that might explain the situation.

#6 Volume, Length and Mass 
20 Sept, Wednesday

Essential Skills:
  • Students can identify methods and tools used to measure an object’s mass and volume.
Safe Use of Measurement tools:
  • Carry tools while holding the base with both hands.
  • Use only as intended.
  • Review with team or teacher if you have questions regarding use. 
LET'S BE SURE YOU CAN:

    4. Connections to Mass, Volume, Density Investigation
  4. Groups will present their problem to the class via PADLET.
    1. We may ask questions about any assumptions you might be making (e.g., how do you know the density is the same?).
    2. Make sure each person has a speaking role during the presentation.
  5. Complete the remaining practice and check your answers using the PADLET.
  6. Students can hand in their worksheet as the exit ticket.
