Density Lesson: Determining Density

Objective: Students will find the density of various materials using an online simulation. 

Learning Targets 

Students can: 

• Use a digital simulation to collect science data. 
• Use displacement to determine the volume of an object. 
• Calculate density. 
• Draw molecule diagrams to model the density of solids. 
• Compare the density of the gas inside the balloon used in the movie The Aeronauts with the density of the gas in our atmosphere.
