Lesson Abstract: In this lesson, students will expand their knowledge of unit measurements and volume to learn about density and buoyancy. They will connect ideas of density by measuring the volume of water displaced to find the buoyancy of different objects made with varying material components. Ideas will then be applied to creating buoyant vessels capable of handling a high amount of weight without sinking.
Objective: Students will learn to use volume and its relationship with mass, density, and buoyancy to show other aspects of engineering in the world today, demonstrating real life applications of measurement and optimization concepts.
Materials: The instructor will need:
