1 Summary
This project is part of the product development effort. End product will be a This Project is to create an app in iPad that can explain concept of density through experiments. This will be the basis for the experiments such as separations techniques based on density, surface area and differences in particle size. Other Experiments to follow are in following areas. 1. 2. 3. 4. Separation Techniques: Filtration, Distillation, Sedimentation, Evaporation, Centrifugation Simple Machines: Pulleys, Wheels, Screws, Wedges, Axles Forces: Buoyancy, Magnetism, Pressure, Density Transformation of Energy

These experiments are selected based on, the applicability of these experiments for different age groups. Apparently, Students from age group 10-16 (grade 5 to 10/ P5-Sec3) are expected to understand these concepts at different depth, depending on their age.

2 Introduction
The density experiment is chosen as the first app in the series. The Density concept can be explained through simple experiments; If these were presented in iPad medium, it has the ability to capture audience attention. As the concept is easy for School Teachers, Adults and Children to understand, the audience attention can be easily shifted to the technology features that simulates real-life experiments. The iPad app would present 5 sections for each experiment 1. Concept definition 2. Animated explanation of the concept with storyline 3. Simulation of experiment as close to the real-time experiment as possible (with touch/interactivity). Students will be able to conduct virtual experiments. 4. Tabular Section, where observations/ readings from real-time experiment can be recorded. 5. Results Section/ Page: The conclusion of the experiment can be recorded here. This section will also show graphs, charts (as applicable) based on the readings observed in real-time experiment.

4 Detail Requirements
The simulation must be as close to the real-life experiments as possible. The videos in the sections below show how the experiments are conducted in real-life.

4.1 Concept Definition:


Following can be displayed under Concept area on the top. It has to be accompanied with audio. Density is a measure of how an object is packed with substance inside. If you are familiar with molecules or matter, you could say that denser object contains its molecules closely packed. Density is equal to the mass of an object per 1 unit volume. Density is denoted as . The definition has to remain in all pages.

4.2 Animation:
1. Show a balanced weighing scale in the animation area

3. 4. 5.

Show some indications how closely packed the molecules are, within the cubes. Place 3 different pairs and show how they weigh. Animation explanation should be supported by audio.

4.3 Density of Solids


Refer to http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/density-and-buoyancy/density_en.html. 1. 2. Show a circular water tank filled with water Show the 10 blocks of different materials on the left side of the tank, with its values of density, mass and volume. Allow the user to change mass or volume against each. 3. Show labels above to indicate density, mass and volume . Tap on the label to reset values to same density/mass/volume. Reset values are: Density = 1000 Kg/ Cu. M. Mass = 10 KG. Volume = 10 L. another tap on Density label should reset the values to Density values of each material (similar to volume reset). 4. Allow the user to drag and drop each of the block in the liquid at any place in the tank. Show the simulation of how the blocks sink. 5. 6. 7. Allow the user to change mass and volume. Density is constant. Allow the user to add or remove water. Provide a water tap on right. Allow the user to enter readings in a table for real-life experiments. http://www.edinformatics.com/science_projects/labs/density_lab1.htm Solid Name
