This tool is more accurate than a beaker because it has more increments.
What is a graduated cylinder?
A rock has a volume of 45 mL and a density of 2 g/mL. What is the mass of the rock?
What is 90 grams.
(mass= Density x volume)
This will change when your location changes.
What is weight?
TRUE or FALSE: You use a triple beam balance to measure weight.
What is false?
A fake flower has a mass of 30 grams and takes up 60 mL of space. Find the density.
1/2 g/mL
(Density= mass/volume)
Tool used to measure weight.
What is a spring scale?
If the density of water is 1 gram per mL, this means that the mass of 100 mL of water is ____________.
What is 100 grams?
(mass= Density x volume)
Explain the tools needed to calculate density.
What is ruler/graduated cylinder for volume and triple beam balance for mass?
Ms. Bouchard has a 160 gram name tag on her desk. The name tag is made of pure oak, which has a density of 0.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Help her find how much space it takes up!
What is 200 cubic centimeters?
(volume = mass/density)
Process used to find the volume of an irregular object.
What is Water Displacement Method?
Mr. Kelleher has a 432 gram Rubik's cube in his office that has a length of 6 cm. He is concerned that with all of the rain, his office is going to flood. Should he bring his Rubik's cube home or should he risk the flood? Explain!
He should bring his precious Rubik's cube home!If an object has a greater density than the liquid it is in, it will sink!
Density of Rubik's Cube= 2 g/mL
Density of Rain Water = 1 g/mL
