Overview: Students will find the density of various materials using an online simulation. 

Learning Targets 

Students can: 

  • Use a digital simulation to collect science data. 
  • Use displacement to determine the volume of an object. 
  • Calculate density. 
  • Draw molecule diagrams to model the density of solids. 
  • Compare the density of the gas inside the balloon used in the movie The Aeronauts with the density of the gas in our atmosphere.
