Student Exploration: Density Experiment: Slice and Dice
Define Vocabulary Density: The degree of compactness of a substance Mass: A coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape Matter: The substance or substances of which any physical object consists or is composed Volume: The quantity of three-dimensional space occupied by a liquid, solid, or gas
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. What do you think would happen if you threw a block of Styrofoam™ into the water? The Styrofoam will float
2. What would happen if you broke the Styrofoam up into lots of pieces, then threw the pieces into water? The pieces will still float 3. What Mass: 7.28 g Volume: 36.4 cm3 Density: 0.2 g/cm3
6. Apply: An archaeologist finds a golden figurine. How could she determine if the figurine is solid gold without cutting it? Measure the mass and volume. Then determine the density of the solid gold.

Question: The density of water is 1.0 g/mL, which is equivalent to 1 g/cm3. How does an object’s density affect whether it sinks or floats in water?
1. Form hypothesis: How do you think an object’s density relates to whether it sinks or floats?
If the density is greater than water, then the object will sink. If the density is less than water, the object will float.
2. Collect data: Measure the mass and volume of each known material, and calculate its density. Then drag each material into the water to see whether it sinks or floats.
|Material |Mass |Volume |Density |Sinks or floats? | |Styrofoam |7.28 g |36.4 cm3 |0.2

Despite the evidence that Voyager had departed the heliosphere, the magnetic field direction remained constant making astronomers need another way to confirm it. Both voyager spacecraft had sensors that could accurately measure plasma heat and density. But Voyager 1’s had broken somewhere by Saturn. Donald Gurnett found a way to get a good measurement anyway. Using other data, he discovered that in April 2013 a solar wave from the sun had reached Voyager’s neck of the woods and jostled electrons…

od sources of information [record these also if you use them]. There are many books and periodical which may be of help to you. Remember to “Save” your work as you progress. “My computer ate it”, is very sad to hear. Save often. 1] Vocabulary – define the following 26 terms: using “Google” Altitude: the angular distance of a heavenly body above the horizon. Asteroids: any of the thousands of small bodies of from 480 miles (775 km) to less than one mile (1.6 km) in diameter that…
Earths density is higher than most rocks, so there must be denser material deeper in Earth. 2.

Seismic Waves -Compressional (P-waves; pass through solid, liquid, gas) -Shear (S-waves; pass through solid only) -Seismology is one of the primary tools geologist use to study the earth’s interior Vocabulary: know…
finished reviewing the materials you will be asked to complete a workbook of activities that will help you solidify your knowledge of this material. All terms that are bolded in the text and study guide are key terms you should know and be able to define. Study Guide Chapter 1 As your textbook points out, the study of anatomy essentially began with the dissection of human cadavers. In the early days, these cadavers were not preserved and there was no refrigeration so you can imagine how unpleasant…

chapter that I consider useful for studying (it doesn’t mean that you have to memorize them! Just try to extract the useful information). I also added the homework questions with some hints. I wrote all my comments in blue. Finally, I put the vocabulary words in red and I highlighted some animals in green. I highlighted in yellow the parts of the book that you have to study. Please let me know if you have any question or comment. Good luck on your final! Alejandra Bio94 (TA Alejandra Rodriguez)…
