Students have seen that solids, which are more dense than a liquid, that sinks in that liquid and solids, which are less dense than a liquid, that floats on that liquid. They use a metal boat to float in water. Pupils comprehend that density=mass/volume, increasing the volume of an object made of metal decreases the density of the object. Full Review »

Students identify and analyze the concept of density using the formula, density equals mass divided by volume. They review the differences in salinity levels of the ocean and note that the changes in density are caused by wind and currents at the surface. Finally, students complete an experiment comparing salty water to tap water and recording their observations. Full Review »
