Density

• Method for Calculating Density?

  1. Fill eureka with water and allow excess water to drain
  2. Place empty measuring cylinder under spout of can
  3. Submerge object in can and collect displaced water
  4. Record the volume of the displace water which is the volume of the object
  5. Measure the mass of the object using the balance
  6. Calculate the density using: density = mass/volume
  7. Repeat for other irregular objects
• Safety for Calculating Density?

  • take care handling glass
  • clean water spillages
