- Diet pop/unsweetened carbonated drinks float

Density is the mass of an object divided by its volume, or the measure of mass per unit of volume. Mass is the amount of matter that is in an object and is commonly referred to as how much an object weighs. Volume is how much space that object or substance occupies.]]> 2020-10-13 20:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826510893 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826514835 2020-10-13 20:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826514835 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826514901 2020-10-13 20:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826514901 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826516692 2020-10-13 20:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826516692 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826518928 2020-10-13 20:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826518928 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826532477 https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/articles/math/density-formula.php]]> 2020-10-13 20:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/826532477 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828733679 2020-10-14 14:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828733679 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828751954 Because some of the pop types used in this experiment are sweetened with sugar, the sugar adds to their mass and makes them more dense than the water they were placed in - this is why they sink! The diet pop or unsweetened drinks float because they are less dense than water - they have dissolved CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas in them and have a small air space at the top of the can, which them slightly less dense than water. While the regular pop cans also have dissolved CO2 and a small air space, the added mass of the sugar pushes their density to heavier than that of water.]]> 2020-10-14 14:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828751954 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828856021 Read ahead for the specific expectations that this experiment covered.]]> 2020-10-14 14:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828856021 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828860945 Grade 8 - UNDERSTANDING MATTER AND ENERGY (FLUIDS):
2.3 investigate and compare the density of a variety of liquids (e.g., water, salt water, corn syrup, liquid soap)
3.2 describe the relationship between mass, volume, and density as a property of matter
3.5 determine the buoyancy of an object, given its
density, in a variety of fluids (e.g., less dense
objects float, more dense objects sink)

Extension for a subsequent lesson:
3.3 explain the difference between solids, liquids,
and gases in terms of density, using the particle theory of matter (e.g., in general, solids are
more dense than liquids, which are more dense
than gases)]]> 2020-10-14 14:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828860945 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828923969 This experiment allows students to visually see and explore the idea of density. This exploration touches on quite a few specific expectations, as stated previously, and could act as a good "Minds On" activity at the start of a lesson. This experiment also could be used as a segue into a discussion about the negative health effects of added sugar and the "weight" they not only add to the drinks they sweeten but often to the people who consume them.]]> 2020-10-14 14:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/828923969 delaneyv https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/829129443 https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/sinking-soda-surprise/]]> 2020-10-14 15:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/delaneyv/hu7hsgm9045hrauv/wish/829129443
