Dive into Density

Dive into Density

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to define density and calculate it.

Explain to the students what they will learn at the end of the lesson.

What do you already know about density?

Definition of Density

Density is the mass per unit volume of an object.

Explain to the students the definition of density.

Calculating Density

Density = Mass / Volume

Explain to the students how to calculate density using the formula.

Units of Density

Density can be measured in g/cm³ or kg/m³.

Explain to the students the units of density.

Comparing Densities

To compare densities, you need to know the mass and volume of each object.

Explain to the students how to compare densities.

Density of Water

The density of water is 1 g/cm³ or 1000 kg/m³ at 4°C.

Explain to the students the density of water and its significance.

Applications of Density

Density is used to determine the purity of substances, as well as in engineering and the study of Earth's atmosphere.

Explain to the students the practical applications of density.

Interactive Activity

Students will participate in a density experiment using different liquids and objects to determine their densities.

Provide instructions for the teacher on how to conduct the interactive activity.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
