Lesson Plan

Define density as a rate that relates a quantity to area or volume, and express density using appropriate units

Set up and solve problems involving population density (people per unit area), material density (mass per unit volume), and energy density (energy per unit volume)

Use geometric models from HSG.MG.A.1 to compute the areas and volumes needed for density calculations

Convert between units in density problems (e.g., people per square mile to people per square kilometer)

Interpret density values in real-world modeling contexts and use them to make predictions or comparisons

HSG.MG.A.2

HSG.MG.A.2: Apply concepts of density based on area and volume in modeling situations (e.g., persons per square mile, BTUs per cubic foot).
