In a science lab, Paula used a ruler to measure the block. The block has the following measurements: 6 cm, 10 cm, 5cm. She also measured the mass of the block as 400 grams. Using these properties Paula calculated the density.
What is 1.33 g/cm3?

Michael went camping last week. He bought 10 grams of fire wood. After making some smores he realized he only had 3 grams of wood. He knew this was not possible according to the Law of Conservation of Mass. This is what happened to the other 7 grams

Alex had two metal cubes of identical sizes. He placed cube A on one side of a triple beam balance and cube B on the other side of the balance. The pan that held cube B was now lower than the pan that held cube A. Alex made a conclusion about the two cubes
What is the cube has different densities?

Ben wants to model how the motion of particles changes with temperature. He considers water in an iron pot. Ben draws a model to show how the water particles and iron particles move at room temperature. Then, he draws a second model to show how the water particles and iron particles move as the pot of water is heated. This is how should Ben’s second model differ from the first
What is the water particles slide past each other faster, and the iron particles vibrate faster?
