Review Skills
Today you will explore scuba diving, but first we need to do some examples to review the following skills below:
Adding and Subtracting Fractions
The water pressure on a diver 11 ft below the ocean's surface is ⅓ atmosphere
The water pressure 30 ft below the surface is 𝟣𝟢/𝟣𝟣 atmosphere.
What is the increase in pressure when a diver descends from 11 ft to 30 ft below the surface?
Finding Absolute Values (Distance)
A diver jumps off the deck of a boat 3 ft above the ocean’s surface and descends to a depth of 25 ft.
What vertical distance does the diver travel?
Comparing and Ordering Numbers
Scuba Diving
Work with your group to complete the Scuba Diving Activity to help you practice more of those skills.
Make sure to read the questions carefully and show all your work.
