The Density Challenge: A Complete Inquiry Activity Introduction Density has been an important part of science for a very long time. Density was discovered by Archimedes‚ a Greek mathematician‚ around 250 BC while determining whether a craftsman had replaced some of the gold in the King of Syracuse’s crown with silver. Density is the compactness of a substance. The new concept of density he discovered was used to expose the fraud. The purpose of this experiment is to make

Even though the Sumerians and Egyptians were credited with the most important technology evolutions‚ Greece and Rome both had an impact on technology evolution. Most of their inventions and discoveries are still used today. Throughout the history of Rome‚ the Romans intelligence served them well with inventions like aqueducts‚ bound books‚ money‚ newspapers‚ or even concrete. However‚ the same could be said about Greece. The Greeks inventions consisted of the water mill‚ alarm clock‚ and basics of

The scientific revolution of the Renaissance had its start with Copernican heliocentrism and its culmination‚ a century later‚ with Newtonian mechanics. His most eminent representative‚ however‚ was the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. In the field of physics‚ Galileo made the first laws of motion; in the astronomy department‚ he confirmed the Copernican theory with his telescopic observations. But none of these valuable contributions have had such significant consequences as the introduction of

2102ENG : Soil Mechanics Hydrometer Analysis Semester 2‚ 2012 Introduction: The hydrometer test is an application of Stokes Law‚ which in essence states that larger particles fall more quickly in a suspending fluid‚ while finer particles remain in suspension longer. The time at which the hydrometer readings are taken determines the size of particle remaining in suspension‚ while the reading on the hydrometer determines the amount of that size. Aim: This

Greek mathematics has been developed since the early seventh century B.C. which could also be called the period during the Hellenistic Mathematics. Some of the greatest Ancient Greek mathematicians were Pythagoras‚ Aristotle‚ Anaxagoras‚ Euclid‚ Archimedes‚ Thales‚ and Aristarchus. These Greek mathematicians were big on the development of geometry which is a subdivision of math that focuses on shapes‚ size‚ and the relativity of space. Although their number system was based on letters of the alphabet
