Teachers, save “Density Experiment Using the PhET Applic…” to assign it to your class.

Today, we're going to conduct an exciting density experiment using the PhET interactive simulation (https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/density/latest/density_en.html). This experiment will help us understand the concept of density and predict whether various materials will float or sink in water. Follow these steps to complete the experiment: 🧪 Step 1: Predictions Before adding any materials to the water, take a look at the table and make predictions. Write down your predictions regarding which materials you think will float on the water and which ones will sink. This is based on your prior knowledge of these materials. 💭 Step 2: Access the PhET Density Simulation using the link (https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/density/latest/density_en.html) in your web browser. This will be our virtual laboratory for the experiment. 📏Step 3: Determine Volume Now, we will determine the volume of each material using the PhET application. Pay close attention to ensure you enter the correct mass of each material. Before placing the materials in the water, observe how much water is already in the container. 🧮Step 4: Calculate Density Once you've recorded the mass and volume of each material, calculate the density for each material using the formula: Density = Mass / Volume Remember that density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Compare your calculated densities with your initial predictions to see if they match. ✨Step 5: Answer on the questions 🛠Step 6: Make a graph using this link: https://www.canva.com/design/play?template=EADzGakkgvE&category=tADWs-UeYP8. And upload your graph on the Seesaw.
