Unit 4: Better Body Composition Measurement

Learner Objectives

  1. Compare and contrast: mass, volume, density, weight and apparent weight and explain how each are measured.[2]
  2. Apply the concept of static equilibrium to determine the magnitude and direction of unknown forces.[3]
  3. Apply Archimedes’ principle and density concepts to predict if objects will sink or float.[2]
  4. Determine density  by hydrostatic weighing and from mass and volume measurements.[4]
