| Title | Calculating density |
| Brief description | An application of rates to calculating density of a gold chain |
| Purpose | Contextual application |
| Topic(s) | Ratios and rates; Units of measure for length, area, volume |
| Type of activity | Instructor led |
| Where work is done | In class |
| Time required | 0 to 10 minutes |
| Technology needed | Internet access |
| Suggestions for implementation | The video shows a chain being put into a graduated cylinder. When I weighed it, the mass was 39.7 grams. Have them use this to determine the density, and from that, determine the composition. |
