Description

Three short readings about the sinking of the Titanic. Use these as a way to teach the concepts of density or buoyancy and connect to a real-world situation.

I have students annotate the texts and then use them for a science circle discussion.

Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. Examples of evidence could include adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water. Assessment does not include the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation or defining the unseen particles.
