Unit Overview

• Students will investigate the properties of various liquids (e.g. adhesion, cohesion, heaping, surface tension, mass, density) throughout the course of this unit.  Special emphasis will be placed on observing, manipulating, communicating, collecting data, and predicting.  As the students gain experience, they will develop understanding of the properties of liquids. Integrated hands-on math activities are also included in this kit.
