Describe the relationship between pressure and density for a given amount of a gas at a constant temperature.
Explain what determines whether an object will float in air.
Describe the relationship between the speed of a fluid at any point and the pressure at that point, for steady flow.

State Benchmarks

P.1.2	Measure or determine the physical quantities including mass, charge, pressure, volume, temperature, and density of an object or unknown sample.
P.1.3	Describe and apply the kinetic molecular theory to the states of matter.
P.1.4	Employ correct units in describing common physical quantities.
P.1.30	Explain that the nucleus, although it contains nearly all of the mass of the atom, occupies less than the proportion of the solar system occupied by the sun. Explain that the mass of a neutron or a proton is about 2,000 times greater than the mass of an electron.

1. Build a hydrometer so that it floats in most liquids. Calibrate the hydrometer and place a label with marking on the side. Measure the densities of the following liquids: skim milk, whole milk, vegetable oil, pancake syrup, molasses or other liquids as approved by your teacher. Describe your procedure for making the hydrometer in a step by step sequence. Be sure to describe changes made as you created a working hydrometer. Summarize your results of the liquids in a cart or table.
