Seeing and Applying Density - Lab

Grade Level:
9
Subject:
Science
Topic:
Density (Ocean water)
Objective:
Students will mathematically predict the amount of mass added to an object that will cause a structure to become more dense than water and sink. T
Other Information:
Please note that vocabulary for the first 3 sections are done for vocabulary. There are a total of 13 words and all the words play a role in why the oceans move and density.
Public Notes:
Although this unit is about how Oceans move, most students do not understand why density causes water in the oceans to rise and/or sink. This allows them to see what density is and how engineers design structures to float on the ocean.
