We will examine water displacement as a measurement tool.
I will visually represent the volume of irregularly shaped, solid objects.
1. Complete warmup.
2. Watch videos.
3. Take a turn playing “Dinosaur Dive” a water displacement game.
4. Test your skills.
Alternate:
A variety of volumes cut and paste
5. Watch a clever bird use water displacement to get a treat.
6. Try it Yourself!
- Use tweezers or needle nose plyers as your beak.
- Displace water with pebbles to reach your floating treat.
- Try to predict how many pebbles you’ll need.
