​

Statement of Inquiry: Examining cause and effect help us understand relationships between physical quantities.

​

Factual Questions:

• What is density?

• What is pressure?

• What are the units of measuring density and pressure?
• What is the method to measure density of a regular or irregular object and liquids?

​

Conceptual Question:

• How do factors such as surface area and altitude affect pressure?

• Why do some objects float and some other sink?

​

Debatable Question: Should there be more innovation of technology such as cargo ships? How do they impact marine ecosystems?
