Unwrapping a Benchmark SC.912.N.1.1 – Define a problem based on a specific body of knowledge (1) Pose questions about the natural world, (2) Conduct systematic observations, (5) Plan investigations, (6) Use tools to gather, analyze, and interpret data, (7) Pose answers, explanations, or descriptions of events; (8) Generate explanations that explicate or describe natural phenomena (inferences); (9) Use appropriate evidence and reasoning to justify these explanations to others; (10) Communicate results of scientific investigations; and (11) Evaluate the merits of the explanations produced by others. Department of Science

SC.912.N.1.1 Essential Content: Develop the logic of using metric units Practice “measurements” by measuring – Review basic measurement skills and units of mass, length, temperature, volume, etc. SI Unit Conversions – Review metric prefixes – Apply the decimal point rule to convert between metric quantities. Data analysis, graphing and interpretation Develop the concepts of mass, volume and density relationships. – Explain the meaning of mass and describe the units for measuring mass. – Differentiate between mass and weight – Define volume and explain how volume is measured. – Solve density problems. Objectives: Demonstrate proper knowledge of SI metric units. Convert measurements from one basic unit to another. Show how to use proper measuring tools with basic laboratory equipment and hands on application. Gather, analyze, and interpret data. Demonstrate ability to skillfully graph data. Create graphs using proper labels (x and y axis/independent and dependent variable, title, etc.) to create a visual representation of data. Compare data sets and analyze trends on a graph. Explain the differences between direct relationship and an inverse relationship. Explain the meaning of mass and describe the units for measuring mass. Distinguish between mass and weight. Define volume and explain how volume is measured. Define density in terms of mass and volume and apply the formula to solve problems. Department of Science

Unwrapping a Benchmark for Density Lab SC.912.N.1.1 SC.912.P.8.2 Let’s Complete the Unwrapping a Benchmark sheet for this benchmark. Department of Science

Review Density Lab – Debrief Review CER’s Did the Lab address everything in the benchmark description? Where other benchmark descriptions addressed in this activity? If everything from the benchmark description was not addressed, how can we modify the activity to address all (or more) of the content or include other benchmark/standards (LAFS/MAFS)? Department of Science
