METEOROLOGY(air) ….OCEANOGRAPHY (water)
TENTATIVE OBJECTIVES/PURPOSE: (Students will be able to…. SWBT)
Monday – Students will measure scientifically with a ruler, graduated cylinder, and the mass using a triple beam balance. Students will
explain how to calculate the volume for an irregular shaped object.
Tuesday – Students will measure scientifically with a ruler, a graduated cylinder, and the mass using a triple beam balance. Students will
calculate the density of an object using it’s mass and volume. Students will define density. Students will determine if an object will sink or
float based on the density in comparison to water. Students will be able to draw a picture of the particles of high density as verse low
density.
Wednesday – Students will calculate the density of an object to determine if they struck gold using volume displacement technique.
Thursday – Students will list and describe the four states of matter and describe what causes matter to change states.
Friday –Students will discuss the six processes involved with changing states of matter and the energy associated with it.
Students will draw a diagram showing the relationship and change in energy when one substance changes from one phase of matter to
another.
INSTRUCTION TENTATIVE LESSON ACTIVITIES:
Monday, October 3 – 1 Fact of Day/PSSA Question 1 Discuss Volume Solid Vs. Volume Liquid… then for irregular shaped objects…
Students will measure volumes using a graduated cylinder and calculate the volume they mixed together. Students will calculate the
volume for a cube and a cylinder. 2Review how to use the triple beam balance. – Students will measure the mass of certain objects and
record it’s value. (MEASUREMENT LAB)
Tuesday, October 4 – 1 Fact of Day/ PSSA Question (FINISH MEASUREMENT LAB adding in DENSITY) 2 Density – Students will calculate the
density of objects from the following day by dividing the mass by it’s volume.3 Volume Displacement…provide brief notes explaining densitymore/less particles per unit volume – compare two cubes of same volume 4DISCUSS DENSITY – sink or float, water’s density – powerpoint
Wednesday, October 5 –1 Fact of Day/PSSA Question 2 GOLD STRIKELAB – Students will decide if they struck gold by using volume
displacement and the mass of the piece they find.
Thursday, October 6– 1 Fact of Day/PSSA Question 2 Read together section 3 in chapter 2. Students will describe the physical properties of
matter. Students will identify what causes matter to change state
Friday, October 7– 1Fact of Day/ PSSA Question 2 Notebook page 7 – Phases Changes of Matter 3Activity – Operation Phase ChangeMelt/Freeze Crayons
