Density Ppt
Density is a measurement of how tightly matter is packed together in an object. It is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Ice floats in water because it has a lower density than water - ice has a density of about 0.9 g/cm3 while water has a density of 1 g/cm3. Hot air balloons and magma rise because they have lower densities than the surrounding air and rock, respectively. A ship will float if its overall density is less than that of water, which is 1 g/cm3.
Density!!!!!!
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It describes how closely packed the molecules of a substance are. Density can be used to calculate mass or volume when two of the three properties are known using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume, Mass = Density x Volume, or Volume = Mass/Density. Substances with a higher density than water (1 g/mL) will sink, while those with a lower density will float.

Issues in english
The document discusses the removal of levels for assessing student attainment in English. It notes that while levels provided clear criteria for teachers, parents and students found them confusing.
