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 »

Students experimentally determine the density of a regular copper piece, irregular zinc pieces, and water. They determine their percent error and design an experiment to determine if density is an intensive or extensive property. They discover how a graph of mass vs. volume can be used to determine density. Full Review »
