If a block of wood has a mass of 200 grams and a volume of 100 cm³, what is its density?
What is 2 g/cm³?
What is the melting point of ice?
What is 0°C or 32°F?

How might a geologist investigate the layers of the Earth?
What is by use of rock samples and field studies?
How does the density of an object affect whether it will float or sink in water? (if the liquid is 1 g/cm3)
Objects with a density less than 1 g/cm³ will float, while those with a density greater than 1 g/cm³ will sink.
How do you classify a substance that dissolves in water?
What is soluble?
How should data be organized during an experiment?
What is in charts, tables, or graphs?
What is a fundamental principle of physics investigations?
What is observation and measurement?
Give an example of a material that is denser than water and explain how you know.
What is iron? It sinks in water because its density is greater than that of water.
How can you demonstrate the magnetic property of a material?
What is using a magnet to see if it attracts the material?
Why is it important to make predictions in scientific investigations?
What is to hypothesize outcomes based on prior knowledge?
Name a method used in chemistry to explain reactions.
What is conducting experiments with reactants?
Describe how you would measure the density of an irregularly shaped object.
Measure the mass using a scale and the volume using water displacement in a graduated cylinder.
Explain why the boiling point is a characteristic property of substances.
It remains constant regardless of the amount of substance present.
Describe how you would defend your conclusions after an experiment.
What is by using data collected to support my results?
Explain how different fields of science might approach the same problem.
What is by using different methods and perspectives based on their focus area?
