Introduction


 * Learning about Density**

To learn about density, you will need your math skills of graphing, equivalent fractions and computational skills such as multiplication and subtraction. You will also need to use your math lab skills such as measuring and weighing. Finally, you will be using your technical skills to maneuver through this web quest. One skill that you may have had difficulty with in the past, is multiplying with decimals.

For additional help with multiplication with decimals, check out these animations: []

In addition to your math skills, you will need to know your science. You will participate in 4 hours of hands on science labs where you will learn how to determine the density of objects and explore how the density of objects causes some objects to float while others sink. You will also discover what happens when liquids of different densities mix. Your final tasks will involve explaining how a heavy metal boat floats on water and presenting this information appropriately (see Task).

This unit of study requires you to work in the science labs, the math lab and here in the media center.

Proceed to the task.
