18.0 Archimedes' Law
Linear Functions, Algebra, and Table of Values
Students will either use data provided (see video) or collect their own data on the apparent change in the weight of an object submerged in water. The line of best fit provides the density of water in grams per cubic centimeter. The concept may be further explored in a problem that requires the student to find the depth to which a wooden ball will be submerged.
