Event

Title:: Volume & Density
When:: Wed, Sep 8
Category:: Lesson Plan Archives

Description

Standards/Benchmarks:

•	SC.912.N.1.2: Describe and explain what characterizes science and its methods.

Essential Question/s: How does one measure the volume of irregularly shaped solids, liquids, what is density and how is it derived?

Lesson Agenda:

1. FCAT Slam: Volume
2. Intro to displacement and calculating density
3. Review glassware safety, handling the balance
4. Volume/density lab
5. Wrap up and write up for homework

How we will learn it:

•	Explicit Instruction: Share definition of volume > Lecture/discussion: irregular solids, liquids & calculating density
•	Modeled Instruction: Illustration: common liquids of different densities, displacement demonstration, practice problem on overhead
•	Guided Practice: Circulate among groups as they complete the lab activity to ensure they are proceeding appropriately.
•	Independent Practice: Students measure the mass, volume and calculate density for two liquids and one irregularly shaped solid.

Formative Assessment (How we will know we learned it?): Lab write up (for homework)

Relevance/Closure (How will we use it?): Review expectations for write up > Oil spill, dispersant, identifying substances (gold)

NEWS FLASH: I hope everyone is enjoying their well deserved break. Have a great holiday!

The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
