Density

• Density= mass/volume
• What does M stand for?

  Mass

  
• What does D stand for?

  Density

  
• What does V stand for?

  Velocity

  
• If an object has a higher density than water, what will happen if you put it into water?

  Sink
• If an object has a lower density than water, what will happen if you put it into water?

  Float
• Density doesn't vary with size or shape.
• Density of an object depends of what its made up of.
• The average density of an object determines whether it floats or sinks.
• You can measure the density of liquids and regular solids.
• To calculate the density of liquids and regular solids you need to measure the mass and the volume.
• To measure the mass of a liquid or regular solid you can use a mass balance.
• To measure the volume of a liquid you pour the liquid into a measuring cylinder.
• To measure the volume of a regular solid measure the width, height and depth  (WxHxL).
• To calculate the density of an irregular solid you will need to use a eureka can.
