For example, ask, “What do you think will happen if we add food coloring to the water?” Guide students to form simple hypotheses like, “The water will turn blue.” Objective: Students will understand the concept of density and apply the scientific method to predict and test which objects will float or sink in water.

We will also delve into the principles of electron configuration and chemical properties, the organization of the periodic table, and the nature of chemical bonding and molecular structure.

Circular motion, a type of motion where an object moves along a circular path, introduces the concept of centripetal force, which keeps the object in its circular trajectory.
