Unit A; Science Topic: Density 3.

2 Time: 45 min
Mix and Flow of Matter

Teacher: Miss Branden Learning Objectives

TA: Mr. Collings GLO: 3
School: Woodman Junior “Investigate and compare the
properties of gases and liquids;
High and relate variations in their
viscosity, density, buoyancy
Date: November 7th , 2023 and compressibility to the
particle model of matter.”
SLO:
2. Observe the mass and
volume of a liquid, and calculate
its density using the formula d =
m/v [Note: This outcome does
not require students to perform
formula manipulations or solve
for unknown terms other than
the density.]
3. Compare densities of
materials; and explain
differences in the density of
solids, liquids and gases, using
the particle model of matter

Vocabulary Students will...

Density Learn the formula for density

Define density

Guiding Question What is density?

How does density connect to particles in solids, liquids and

gases?

How can it be measured and calculated?

Lesson Activities Materials

Introduction:
Check-in on students and how they felt about their test yesterday!
Introduce Ms. Mann to the class.

Demonstration visual
- Connection to particle model of matter
- The closer the particles are to one another (lower the
space between), the more dense the item is
- Explanation of the visual and how materials settle based
upon their density

Short whiteboard activity

- Students grab their whiteboards, and estimate where each
object will fall in the density column
- Video on Archimedes principle

Activity: discussion and notes

Activity: Pop can demonstration video Discussion

- Whiteboard - write down their guesses from the experiment

Time to work on concept maps

Conclusion:
Thank them for what they did well, remind them of tomorrow and
the Remembrance day assembly that will take place.
