Standards
Standard: 8a. I know density is mass per unit volume.
Standard: 8b. I know how to calculate the density of substances from measurements of mass and volume.
Standard: 8b. I know how to calculate the density of substances from measurements of mass and volume.
Reflection Sheet
1. Justify how this project/lab/activity meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself.
This lab meets the standard 8a. because when we found the density of the boat, we put g/ml or g/cm 3 after the number. It also meets the standard 8b. because we used the mass of the boats & washers, along with the volume of the boats to find the density of them. Using the formula, density=mass÷volume, throughout the lab.
2. Elaborate on at least 1 skill and/or strength you feel you gained from completing this project
A strength I felt I gained from completing this project was on taking down notes of my observations properly. I took notes on how much washers Boat 1, 2, and 3 holded prior to sinking. I took notes on how much mass & volume the boats had. For example, I put on my data sheet that my boat holded 60 washers, prior to sinking.
3. Upon reflecting on your work/score, what is one SEP/or area of work you could have done better on? How will improving in this SEP/area benefit future work/projects?
One SEP I could have done better on was SEP 4, which is analyzing & interpreting data. Improving in SEP 4 will benefit me in future work/projects because most works include data that need to be analyzed and interpreted. For example, science and math in the future will have a lot of data that can be analyzed, so you can use it to figure out the answer they are asking you for.
4. How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment in the real-world, outside of the classroom? Make connections between the content and your life
I will presently apply the content and skills I learned from this assignment in the real-world by using data/taking notes on my observations for data to use to find a answer I was asked for or want. Maybe one day I want to engineer a gigantic-dream sized ship, but have to use data on it's mass and volume to figure out the density. Also, the mass it could hold. Figuring out the density will tell me whether the ship will sink or float. I will keep using my data to fix the minor problens, so the ship can have a density lower than 1 g/ml/the water it is surrounded by for it to float not sink.
