Unit: MEASUREMENT OF VOLUME, MASS AND DENSITY
How to cook without a balance?
Human Ingenuity
2 months
What is volume and how do we count it?
Units of volume + their changes + when and where we use them
Tools for measurement of volume – different containers + where we meet them in everyday life
Right way of measurement of volume, mistakes of measurements
Places + situations, where we measure volume
Measurement of volume of solids using a graduated cylinder, liquids, gases, powdered solids
Measurement of mass
Units of mass + where and when we use them
What has bigger mass?
Balances and how they work
Right way of measurement
Brutto = netto + tara
What the density is + formula
Units of density
How does density effect the properties of the objects + solving examples about density
- give examples of scientific applications in everyday life – tools for measurement of volume around us
- reach more practical skills – making own graduated cylinders and balances
-formulate simple hypothesis, make simple experiments, describe it and state short result –
measurement of volume of different states of matter
present scientific information in variety of formats –essay, report, receipt, lab report, worksheet
acknowledge sources
explain and apply scientific information about volume, mass and density to solve problems in familiar
and unfamiliar way
use formulae for solving examples, read and understand the scientific information from examples
collect and record data – calibration of student’s own graduated cylinder
use materials and techniques during measurements of volume, mass and density safely and skillfully
identify, with guidance, how to measure density – what can be measured in an investigation
- making a model of cubic meter, cubic decimeter, cubic centimeter
- making student’s own graduated cylinder
- making own balances
- work with different graduated cylinders or their models – different scales – mistake of measurement
- finding the different containers at home, which show us different volumes + exhibition
- discussion where and when we use different tools for measurement of volume
- measurement of volume of solids, liquids, gases, powdered solids using graduated cylinders
- measurement of mass
- measurement of density
- experiments with density – giving predictions, observation, describing results
- solving examples from the topic
- worksheet – finding information, reading comprehension, paragraphing and note taking
- finding the receipt (interview with grandmother, web searching) which are prepared without balances
- using different containers – (f.e.: mug of flour, …) + writing own receipt + tasting of the prepared
cakes
- preparing the manual how to measure the volume of solids, liquids and gases in a right way
