King Hieron of ancient Syracuse suspected that a goldsmith had not made his
crown of pure gold as instructed. He asked the scientist Archimedes to find out the truth
without damaging the crown. Archimedes wasn't sure how to do this at first, but one
day, while at the public baths, he noticed that the deeper he descended into the bathtub,
the more water flowed over the edge. He suddenly realized that he could solve the
problem of the king's crown. He was so excited by his discovery that he ran naked
through the street, shouting "Eureka! Eureka!" a Greek word which means "I've found
it."
Archimedes, the greatest scientist and mathematician of antiquity, immersed the
crown in a container that was completely full of water and collected the water that
overflowed. When he placed a lump of pure gold equal to the weight of the crown in
the water, a lesser amount of water overflowed. Thus Archimedes concluded that the
goldsmith had substituted some gold with a metal of lesser weight, such as silver.
After he helped the king, Archimedes used his experience to come up with a new scientific
law: "An object floats only if it weighs less than the water it displaces." What level of the
taxonomy did he use?
a. Level 2: Understanding
b. Level 3: Applying
c. Level 4: Analyzing
d. Level 5: Evaluating
e. Level 6: Creating
