Week 7: 8th Grade Science

Week 7

Topic:  Standards of Measurement:  Converting Metric Measurements

Objectives: 

Students will understand that density is a derived unit from mass and volume. 

Essential Question:

If we know the density of an object, How do we know it will float? and How much of the object will float?

This week in science the kids will expand there exploration of density to find the density of water, why things float and by how much (mathematically), and what happens to the density of a material when you change its volume or mass.
