Section outline

  • Success Criteria
    1) Calculate density, using appropriate units, of different liquids and solids 
    2) Explain how density affects an object's ability to float or sink

    Activities
    1) Education Perfect Task -- Density (assigned)
    2) Create a density column with liquids and solids ... calculate the density of the substances
    3) Apply your understanding of density to calculate the density of your boat (from last week) to explain why / how your homemade boat floats 
    4) Literacy and Practical activity -- Floating candy (see Google Classroom)

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA

    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING boats by experimenting and observing how different boat designs are suited for purpose
    • We are EXPLORING how boats move by calculating and investigating forces
