III: Density Investigation* Honors Earth Science Summer Work "'Modified from Mrs. SymonSS\'mol1S.debbie (i'i; gmail.('om

Our first Earth Science topic will review the scientific process. During this topic the concept of density will be reviewed and explored. Density is a fundamental concept throughout much of Earth Science and a strong understanding of density will lead to a better mastery of meteorology, oceanography, rocks/minerals, and formation of the solar system concepts.

Due: 151 day of class- It will not be accepted late for credit. Bring to class:

1. Printed copy of assignment (Parts I & 3) 2. Electronic copy of your assignment on a flash drive- it may not be emailed. 3. Presentation visual 4. Rubric

Part 1 Background Information: (Research paper) Research the concept of density, using a minimum of 4 valid sources, and present your finding in a 1-2 page typed report. Include a works cited page, MLA format ( directions for MLA format are included). Wikipedia is not a valid source. As with all research papers, your work should be written with your own words, no plagerism. Your report must include the following:

• Bullet/ list format for the following: (Type a bullet, then copy the requirement, then type a colon( : ), then answer)

~ Density Fonnula, including acceptable unit~ (regular & irregular objects)

~ Definition- in your own words

~ Clearly explainJhe step by step process of finding the mass of an object.

~ Clearly explainJhe step by step process of finding the volume of a regular object.

~ Clearly explainJhe step by step process of finding the volume of an irregular object.

~ List the densities of at least 5 common substances (one MUST be water)- including unit. (These do NOT need to be substances in your experiment. I do NOT expect you to find the densities of the substances in your experiment.)

• Paragraph format for the following: ( 4 paragraphs in all) ~ History- Archimedes' discovery with a clear step by step connection to the concept of

density.

~ Detailed explanation of how temperature, pressure, OR salinity affects density. Give at least 1 specific example as part of your explanation.

~ I very detailed "real world" example/explanation of how density plays a role in weather, plate tectonics, earth's layers, formation of our solar system (terrestrial/Jovian planets), ocean currents, OR identifying minerals.

~ Another (different topic than 3rd paragraph) very detailed "real world" example/explanation of how density plays a role in weather, plate tectonics, earth's layers, formation of our solar system (terrestrial/Jovian planets), ocean currents, OR identifying minerals.

Part 2 Experiment: o *Safety Note: ALL substances used must be non-toxic!

Have a parent approve your experiment PRIOR to beginning.

Create a single density column which demonstrates at least 5 different densities simultaneously in the same

column. (In the past students have used tall clear drinking glasses, cleaned out mayo/peanut butter/sauce

jars, or Vitamin Water (or similar) bottles to create their columns in.) A combination ofsolid(s) and

liquid(s) must be used. When stirred/shaken vigorously for 2 minutes your ingredients must clearly separate

out. You may find an example on the web for follow or design your own "kitchen experiment" using

common household items* (see Safety Note above). This will probably take several attempts before you

find substances that will work. You do not need to calculate the density of the substances, only compare

which has higher/lower density depending upon location in your column.

Part 3 Conclusion:

On your typed report under your 4th paragraph- type the words- Part 3 Conclusion. Then type and answer the following questions to demonstrate the depth of your understanding of density.

1. What is the densest substance in your density column? -------------------------

How do you know? ______________________________________________________ _

2. What is the least substance in your density column? ________________________ _

How do you know? ______________________________________________________ _

3. Calculate the density for an object that has a volume of 25 ml and a mass of 50 grams. Show all work (including units) and remember to include the correct units in your answer.

4. Calculate the density for an object that has a mass of 17 grams and volume of 34 cm3.

Show all work (including units) and remember to include the correct units in your answer.

5. Calculate the density for an object that has a length of 2 cm, width of 5 cm, a height of 3 cm and a mass of90 grams. Show all work (including units) and remember to include the correct units in your answer.

6. Does having more of an object change its density? __ For example, does 10 pounds of gold have a different density than 2 ounces of gold? Explain your reasoning.

Part 4 Presentation of Findings:

You will have 3-5 minutes to present your experiment to a small group of your peers. Date will be assigned the first week of school.

Presentation Content: Include the following:

1. Formula for density.

2. Describe how you developed your density column.

3. Identify the most and least dense materials in the column and explain how you know this.

4. List the items in your density column from least dense to most dense.

5. Describe the troubles you had conducting the experiment.. For example, what are some things you tried that didn't work out.

Presentation Visual: You have several options:

1. You may present your column by bringing the materials into class to duplicate you experiment at school and making a poster to share your findings (requirements above.)

2. You may take pictures while completing the experiment at home and present the pictures to class in a PowerPoint or on a poster. The pictures must be your own, you may not use pictures from any other source- ideas are great to get from the web, but you need to conduct the experiment and take your own pictures.

~ Your PowerPoint or poster must contain the presentation content requirements described above.

~ If using PowerPoint, bring in a flash drive AND a hard copy (6 slides to a page to save paper & ink) of the project to class the day it is due.
