Weeks 5 and 6 - Oct. 6 to Oct. 16

Goals:
1. Know the density of water: 1g/ml.
2. Know what mass, volume and density are and how to measure them.
3. Know that the density of a pure substance is constant (at a given temperature and pressure).
4. Know that the solid phase is almost always more dense than the liquid phase, but that water is an exception.
5. Know that fresh water is a precious and effectively limited resource.

Activities:
Monday: Go over returned Test. Notes on mass and volume. Introduce density of water lab.
Tuesday: Determine the density of water. Link to handout
Thursday: Finish water lab. Determine the density of ice.
Monday: Discussion - What do we know about water in the world.
Tuesday: Density Review sheet . (This copy is missing some important pictures that are hand drawn on the in-class version.) Link to handout.
Thursday: The Density Challenge and Quiz


This weeks notebook should have.
1. Density of a pure substance part 1.
2. Graph
3. Density of ice worksheet
4. Density review sheet
5. Density Challenge Graph
