Class Notes: Finding Volume with Displacement Sept. 8, 2023
Displacement - a method of determining volume by measuring the amount of fluid displaced (moved out of place) when the object is submerged in it.
Used of objects that have irregular shape and cannot be calculated using geometric formulas.
Calculated: Vobject = Vfinal - Vinitial
Vo = Vf - Vi
Lab Method
Start with a graduated cylinder.
Fill it with enough water to cover the object
do not put the object in yet!
measure the volume of water very carefully
put in the object
remeasure the volume of the water and the object.
calculate in FDSS format using the formula above.
POP Quiz - open notes
Lab Exploration - displacement
Due tonight:
When finished, research this link from AZEK - I think this is probably the manufacturer of the PVC trim board these samples were cut from because Home Depot sells it and I bought the board at Home Depot. Prepare a report that:
summarizes the results of your density measurements of the white blocks.
Do this in a table with 2 columns and five rows. The columns should be titled for the sample number and its calculated density. Use the bottom row for the average density of all three samples.
State the density specification for AZEK PVC Trim including proper units.
Discuss whether your results are close enough to the specification for AZEK to confirm our samples are made of that material.
Identify two other properties of AZEK (from its data table) and discuss why each property might be important to a builder that was considering AZEK trim for their construction business.
Speculate - Why might a builder choose AZEK (PVC Plastic) trim instead of traditional wood?
Prepare your report in Google Classroom.
Be sure it has a proper heading and appropriate title at the top.
Write in complete sentences and thoughts.
Submit it NLT Friday at Midnight.

Class Notes: Matter and Materials (Cont’d from 9/1)
Matter - anything that has mass and takes up space
made of atoms
all solids, liquids and gasses are made of matter
Material - Matter with homogenous properties that a something is or can be made of.
homogeneous - the same everywhere
properties - observable qualities or characteristics
Examples of observable properties
Examples of materials:
Density (a property of materials) - how tightly packed the matter in a material is.
How can we test/calculate/measure it?
formula
example
Volume - how much space an object takes up
Rectangular solids formula: V = L x W x H
Example
Lab Practice
Assign Lab Station
As team:
measure length, width, height and calculate volume of block.
Measure Mass - calculate density of block
return block and repeat with a new sample.

Incoming Grade 8 - Summer Project Work
All students must complete the summer Photojournal assignment that is linked below.
The (small amount of ) work is due upon your return to school.
Do not share files with me. You will attach your work to a Google Classroom assignment that will be created at the start of the year!
This project amounts to six pictures and six descriptions on six slides - easy if you pick away at them a bit at a time…
Thank you and have a great summer!
