Study Guidelines
- Describe atoms
and elements.

and explain why it is the same for different amount
of the same material
- Distinguish
between an elastic material and an inelastic material,
and describe Hooke’s Law.

the center of a horizontal steel girder need not be
as wide as the top and bottom.
- Describe the
relationship among linear growth, surface area growth,
and volumetric growth.
- Describe what
determines the pressure of a liquid at any point.
- Explain what
causes a buoyant force on an immersed or submerged object.
- Relate the buoyant
force on an immersed or submerged object to the weight
of the fluid it displaces.
- Describe what
determines whether an object will sink or float in a
fluid.
- Given the weight
of a floating object, determine the weight of fluid
it displaces.
- Describe how
Pascal’s principle can be applied to increase the force
of a fluid on a surface.
- Explain why
the molecules in Earth’s atmosphere neither escape nor
settle to the ground.
- Describe the
source of atmospheric pressure.
- Explain why
water cannot be raised higher than 10.3 m with a vacuum
pump.
- Describe the
aneroid barometer.
- Describe the
relationship between pressure and density for a given
amount of a gas at a constant temperature.
- Explain what
determines whether an object will float in air.
- Describe the
relationship between the speed of a fluid at any point
and the pressure at that point, for steady flow.
- Describe some
applications of Bernoulli’s principle.
| P.1.2 |
Measure
or determine the physical quantities including
mass, charge, pressure, volume, temperature, and
density of an object or unknown sample. |
| P.1.3 |
Describe and apply
the kinetic molecular theory to the states of
matter. |
| P.1.4 |
Employ correct units
in describing common physical quantities. |
| P.1.30 |
Explain that the
nucleus, although it contains nearly all of the
mass of the atom, occupies less than the proportion
of the solar system occupied by the sun. Explain
that the mass of a neutron or a proton is about
2,000 times greater than the mass of an electron. |

1. Build a
hydrometer so that it floats in most liquids. Calibrate
the hydrometer and place a label with marking on the side.
Measure the densities of the following liquids: skim
milk, whole milk, vegetable oil, pancake syrup, molasses
or other liquids as approved by your teacher. Describe
your procedure for making the hydrometer in a step by step
sequence. Be sure to describe changes made as you
created a working hydrometer. Summarize your results
of the liquids in a cart or table.
2. How does the viscosity of different materials compare?
How does temperature affect viscosity? Design an investigation
to measure viscosity and select one of the questions to
investigate. Write a report or give a presentation
to share your results.
