GizmosName:Date:Student Exploration: Density LaboratoryDirections: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions andprompts in the orange boxes.Vocabulary: buoyancy, density, graduated cylinder, mass, matter, scale, volumePrior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)1.Of the objects below, circle i »the ones you think would float in water. Click on the image and select EDITto use the drawing tool.2.Why do some objects float, while others sink?I think some sink because they have to much densityGizmo Warm-upThe Density Laboratory Gizmo allows you to measure a variety of objects, then dropthem in water (or other liquid) to see if they sink or float.1.A n objectsmassis the amount ofmatterit contains. Mass can be measured with acalibrated scale like the one shown in the Gizmo. Drag the first object onto theScale.(This is object 1 .)What isthemass of object1?19.&g2.A n objectsvolumeis the amount of space it takes up. The volume of an irregular object can be measuredby how much water it displaces in a graduatedcylinderA. What is the initial volume of water in the cylinder?400mlB. Place object 1 into the cylinder. What is the volume in the cylinder now?414.2 mlIC. What is the volume of the object?14.2Reproduction h x enucabonal use only. PiJilic sharing o r posting prahiiited.
