17. DEMONSTRATION

18. DENSITY
 Relates to the mass of a material in a given object
 Density= mass/volume
 Density of water
 1g/mL

19. DENSITY
 What does it mean when an object sinks in water?
 The object is more dense/ has a higher density than the
water
 What does it mean when an object floats in water?
 The object is less dense/ has a lower density than the
water

20. DENSITY LAB
 Problem: Does the density of a material vary with
volume?
 Hypothesis:

21. DENSITY LAB
 Measure the mass, volume, and density of the object at your table with your
partner.
 Use the Triple Beam Balance to measure mass—make sure it is at ZERO
BEFORE you Measure.
 Use the graduated cylinder and water displacement to measure the
volume. 1mL of water = 1g
 Use the mass and volumes that you have found to find the density. D=
m/v
 Record your measurements in the correct rows of the data table.
 Example: if you have a paper that says ―modeling clay piece 2‖ you will measure the
mass, volume, and density for modeling clay piece 2. You will then record your results
under ―modeling clay piece 2‖ in the Data Table.
 You will then move to another table and measure the mass, volume, and
density of that item.
 Record your results in the correct rows in the data table.

26. FRIDAY MARCH 28, 2014
Warm Up—
Put ALL of your belongings to the side of the room. Be
careful not to hit anything.
All you need is a pencil
DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON THE TABLES PLEASE
Any last questions about measurement???

27. OBJECTIVE
 Students will be able to measure matter using
length, mass, volume, and density

28. MEASURING MATTER QUIZ
 During this quiz, you will be expected to move to different
stations to find the answer to the following questions. You
DO NOT have to complete the stations in order; however,
you DO have to visit each station to gather all of the
information.

29. WARM UP
 Complete Friday’s Warm Up question- be prepared
to go over and to hand it in

30. DENSITY LAB--- D PERIOD
 Measure the mass, volume, and density of the object at your table with your
partner.
 Use the Triple Beam Balance to measure mass—make sure it is at ZERO
BEFORE you Measure.

32. HOMEWORK– GO OVER
1. Weight
2. False
3. Mass is the measurement
of the amount of matter in
an object
4. Mass does not change
with location, weight does
due to the force of the
gravity
5. The International system
of Units
6. Kilogram (kg)
7. Volume
8. Liter (L), milliliter
(mL), cubic centimeters
cm3
9. Volume
=lengthxwidthxheight
10. Sand and feathers have
different densities and
therefore, different
volumes
11. Density= mass/ volume
12. Wood= less dense than
water, Iron= more dense
than water
13. False

33. DENSITY LAB CONCLUSION QUESTIONS
1. For each object, compare the densities that have
been found. What do you notice?
2. How can density be used to identify an object?
Use your results to answer the question.
3. Was your hypothesis correct or incorrect?
Explain.
4. If you were to do this experiment again, what
would you do differently and why?
