MOTIVATE (5 minutes)
__ Demonstration, Volume of Liquids and Gases, TE This demonstration helps students
understand that liquids have a definite volume and cannot be compressed the way gases
can. (GENERAL)
__ Demonstration, Buoyant Force, TE This demonstration helps students understand the
relationship between buoyant force and submerged volume. (GENERAL)
TEACH (25 minutes)
__ PowerPoint® Resources Use the customizable presentation to help students master the
concepts in this section. (GENERAL)
__ Transparency 31, Displaced Volume of a Fluid This transparency illustrates that the
volume of water displaced by a submerged object is equal to the volume of the submerged
object.
__ Transparency 32, Buoyant Force This transparency illustrates the forces on a floating
raft and on the raft once it has deflated and submerged.
__ Transparency Master 27A, Densities of Some Common Substances This transparency
masters lists the densities of some common substances at a stated temperature and
pressure.
__ Appendix J: Advanced Topics, Properties of Gases, SE This feature allows students to
explore higher-level concepts related to the chapter. (ADVANCED)
__ Demonstration, Float an Egg, TE This demonstration helps students understand the
effect of liquid density on the buoyant force. (GENERAL)
__ Sample Set A, Buoyant Force, SE This sample and practice problem set covers buoyant
force. (GENERAL)
__ Classroom Practice, Buoyant Force, TE Use this problem as a teamwork exercise or for
demonstration at the board or on an overhead projector. (GENERAL)
CLOSE (10 minutes)
__ Section Review, SE Students answer review questions, critical-thinking questions, and
interpreting-graphics questions that assess their understanding of the section objectives.
(GENERAL)
__ Study Guide, Fluids and Buoyant Force, ANC Use this worksheet to review the main
concepts presented in the section. (GENERAL)
