1. DENSITY
Holt: Chapter 2, Section 2

2. REVIEW
▪ What is matter?
▪ Anything that has mass and takes up space
▪ What is mass?
▪ The amount of matter in an object
▪ What is volume?
▪ The amount of space something occupies

3. WHAT IS DENSITY?
▪ The amount of matter in a given volume (mass/volume)
▪ Measured in g/mL or kg/L (liquids) and g/cm3 or kg/m3 (solids)

4. Solids and Liquids

5. HOW DO WE CALCULATE
DENSITY?
▪

6. DENSITY OF WATER
▪ 1 g/cm3
How do you know if something will float?

7. LET’S PRACTICE!
