b) How does it relate to Temperature?
c) What happens as atoms slow down, speed up?
d) Notes on the particle theory of matter.
Day 2:
a) Notes on Nature of Fluids
b) Go through the 'problems.' Hypothesize about each, discuss, carry out,
and correct
i) balloon in a plastic bottle, balloon placed over the mouth
of the bottle then inflate it in the bottle
ii) floaters and sinkers, potatoes are dropped into beakers
of water, alcohol, and salt water
iii) plastic syringe, finger verses the plunger
iv) buoyant force of an empty cup in water
v) pouring a gas, using carbon monoxide to put out a candle
vi) the great marble race, marbles race through columns
filled with different fluids
c) Go through the five characteristics of fluids; match each
characteristic with each quickstart

a) Look at the Submarine in the bottle
b) "Air has Buoyancy Too!" overhead
c) Mini Lab: different densities of fluids and their relationship to
buoyancy
d) Assign questions from the mini-lab as homework, due next day
Day 6:
a) Pressure notes
b) Three cases to discover, overhead with quickstarts
i) doweling and clay, measuring depths
ii) mass distribution exercise with a book and a single die
iii) mass distribution in nature
iv) three cases of an object in a fluid; positive, neutral,
and negative buoyancy
