Tells the story of how Archimedes discovered the Archimedes Principle and his water displacement method for determining the volume and density of an object. Provides an explanation and several examples of how it is done.

The purpose of this fourth task in a series of four is to find the volume of an irregular 3D solid by using Archimedes' Principle. Students must calculate the volume of the displaced water in a rectangular prism tank in order to solve...

This lesson introduces students to the important concept of density. The focus is on the more easily understood densities of solids, but students can also explore the densities of liquids and gases. Students devise methods to determine...
