Thanks to physics, this fish is able to float. When the fish breaths in the oxygen produced by the filter its buoyancy increases. The buoyancy pushes the fish upward and gravity pushes it down. So by adjusting the volume of oxygen inside itself it can manipulate its density, defy gravity, and float. Volume is a derived unit, meaning it is based upon base units. The volume of this fish tank is 626,340 mL. I measured this with metric units because the metric system is an easy way to take measurements. It is a standardized system and can be easily converted to another metric unit.
Nice fish. Be sure to have your 100 words to explain how this is dealing with physics and unit 1.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you measured in millimeters..... so awesome. Anyway, the example of the fish breathing in the oxygen for buoyancy was brilliant! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, I must give Ziggy all the credit, he's a brilliant breather. Oh and I actually measured in centimeters, which become cubed for volume and a cubic centimeter is the equivalent of a millimeter.
