Let's have fun with density

Students will explore through inquiry by designing their own experimentations, the densities of various liquids available at home as well as the factors which affect the density of substances. Using the results of their experimentations, students will explore how densities of various substances influence our daily lives as well as our environment. By exploring the densities of various liquids ,students will integrate art and science to reuse the bottles at home.

By the end of this lesson, the learner will be able to:

·      Evaluate collaboratively about the importance of density daily life situations.

·      Evaluate collaboratively to design an experiment.

·       Create their own experimental procedure to determine the densities of different liquids.

·      Evaluate collaboratively the eco-friendly and sustainable options for reusing the bottles at home.

·      Determine the miscibility of different liquids in water.

Develop ways of integrating art in learning of sciences.

Grade 6: Science

·      Heterogeneous mixtures (How can mixtures beseparated).

·      Mixtures: separated using a difference in componentproperties.

·      Local first principles knowledge of separation andextraction methods.

Grade 7: Science.

·      Elements and compounds are pure substances (matter that has only one type of has one set of properties (e.g., density, boiling point, solubility, and conductivity).

Grade 8: Science.

·      Kinetic Molecular Theory (explains how particles movein different states).

Grade 10: Science

·      Practical applications and implications of chemicalprocesses, including First Peoples knowledge.

Grade 11: Chemistry

·      Bonds/forces (inter/intramolecular forces, impact onproperties).

Solubility(why do some materials dissolves in water and other liquids but others’ do not).
