Place a container under the spout.
Fill the can until it begins to overflow
Wait until flowing stops.
Dump the water in the container and place the container under the spout.
Slowly but the object into the can
Wait until the water stops flowing.
Place the water in the container into a measuring cylinder.
This is equivalent to the volume of the irregular shaped object

What are 2 factors that affect density?
The 2 factors that affect density are how tightly packed the particles are, and the mass of the particles.

What is volume?
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up

How are liquids measured?
Milliliters

Why are solids more dense than liquids?
Solids are more dense than liquids because the particles in a solid are more tightly packed than particles in a liquid

\\Why are liquids more dense than gases?
Liquids are more dense than gases because the particles in a liquid are moe tightly packed than particles in a gas

What is the displacement method?
Fill a measuring cylinder approximately the size of the object.
Record the measurement in which you stopped filling from the bottom of the meniscus.
Put the irregular shaped object inside of the measuring cylinder.
Measure the new volume in the measuring cylinder.
Remember to read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus
Subtract your starting volume with the volume you have now
That will be the volume of the irregular shaped object.

What is density?
Density is the measure of much matter is in a given substance

The amount of water an object displaces is equivalent to what?
The amount of water an object displaces is equivalent to the buoyant forces
