ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Why are units important?
Why do we use the metric system?
Why do we need a System International (SI) measuring system?
How do you make accurate measurement readings?
How does density affect floating and sinking in water
UNDERSTANDINGS / APPLICATIONS / SKILLS / NATURE OF SCIENCE:
Measurements & SI Units
1.U1: Scientists use specific tools when conducting lab experiments.
1.U2: The International System of units (SI units) are a standard of measurements used in science around the world.
1.U3: The metric system allows for conversions of units by multiples of 10.
1.S1: Read measurements on lab equipment
1.S2: Calculate volume of different types of objects
Density
1.NOS: Scientist make their discoveries in unique ways *
1.U4: Every substance has a unique density.
1.A1: Use of the concept of density to explain why objects float or sink.
1.S3: Use of a density column to determine a solution or object’s density
* Denotes objectives covered in Honors Integrated Science
