Targeted Content Standards and Benchmarks
Arizona Content Standards and Benchmarks
Science
- Employ a research design that incorporates a scientific method
- Predict the outcome when matter experiences an external force or energy change
- Analyze physical properties of a substance through observation, measurement, and experimentation
- Identify qualitative and quantitative relationships associated with energy (such as heat, mechanical)
Technology
- Plan, produce, and present an effective multimedia presentation using visual media, including cartoons, computer images, charts, photographs, maps, and tables, to communicate the intended purpose to the audience
- Select and use appropriate technologies to gather, process, and analyze data and to report information related to an investigation
Student Objectives
Students will be able to:
- Determine densities of regular solids, irregular solids, and liquids
- Interpret density information to gain understanding about an object’s physical properties
- Apply understanding of differences in density of gases due to temperature to make a working hot air balloon
- Use the scientific method to develop and test hypotheses about variables that affect the flight time of balloons
- Use various written and visual presentation tools to effectively communicate learning
