The statement, “To make something flink, the mass and volume
had to equal one,” is acceptable for the elementary school
level. At the middle school level, one would expect the student
to discuss density in terms of a ratio; for example, “To make
something flink, the ratio of the mass and the volume had to equal
one,” or “To make something flink, the mass divided
by the volume had to equal one.” Further, and although this
is perhaps taken for granted, an adequate middle school response
would make explicit the density of water, which equals one.
Additional evidence
of understanding the concept of density is provided in this sentence
which says that the addition of mass changes the buoyancy of the
object.
The final sentence
completes the summary with reference
to observable properties.
This work is an unrevised piece of homework. There are three spelling
errors ("prosess," "absorbe," and "determination")
and a missing apostrophe ("partners"). |
