Describes how tight/loose the atoms are packed in an object


1

What is the formula for density? 


Density = Mass / Volume

1

What is the meaning of the word "convection"?


Movement due to heat changing the density


1

1

What type of enegry transfer would be used if you cooked a hot dog by boiling?

 A. Radiation B. Convection C. Conduction

B. convection

2

When air is heated, what happens to its density?


It decreases. 

2

What is the density? Use correct units

Mass = 2589 g

Volume = 3.00 mL

Density = 863 g/mL

liquids and gasses

3

Burning yourself on a grill is an example of what energy transfer? 

A. Radiation B. Convection C. Conduction

C. Conduction

4

In general, if something is MORE dense will it float or sink?


Sink 

4

Water has a density of 1 g/ml.  If an object has a mass of 20g and a volume of 15 ml, will the object sink or float in water?

sink

4

In a convection cycle, which temperature rises and which falls?


Hot matter rises and cold matter falls


4

What happens to an objects density when it gets warmer? Does it increase or decrease?


Density decreases when an object heats up

.

4

Solar pannels use what type of energy? 

A. Radiation B. Convection C. Conduction

A. Radiation

5

Why did the egg float in salt water but sink in fresh water?


Salt water is more dense than fresh water



5

Which object will float in water?¿Qué objeto flotará en el agua? 

Object #1: Mass= 8.3 g , Volume= 6.0 cm3 

Object #2: Mass= 153 g , Volume= 43.89 mL

Object #3: Mass= 52.4 g , Volume= 63.7 mL

Object #3 will float in water because it's density is less than 1 g/mL


5

Teacher decides if your drawing is correct


5

In the tea kettle, where would you find the least dense material? Draw or explain your answer


The material closest to top/ surface will be the least dense because it is farthest from the heat source
