Two Graduated Cylinders each have an initial water level of 20 mL.  Students put Cube A and Cube B into the Graduated Cylinders, one in each cylinder.  The cubes rise the same amount.  Does this mean the Cubes have the same mass or the same Volume.

Same VOLUME - the Graduated cylinder measures how much space that something takes up.

Draw an object that has the same mass, but is more dense, then explain how your object shows greater density.

Object can have the same number of dots, but smaller size.

The key is more dense means the mass is more tightly packed.

300

How many mL is 30 cm3?

30 cm3 = 30 mL, because 1 mL = 1 cm3

Write a definition for:

Mass

Volume

Mass - the amount of matter something is made of

Volume - the amount of space something takes up

Draw an object that has the same Volume, but is Less dense, then explain how your object shows greater density.

Same size, but less dots

Reminder:  Size = Volume,

Dots = mass

Rock 1 has a mass of 50 g and a volume of 20 mL.

Rock 2 has a mass of 80 g and a volume of 40 mL.

Could these be the same kind of rock?  Why or why not? 

NO!

The density of Rock 1 is 2.5 g/mL

The density of Rock 2 is 2.0 g/mL

If they were the same kind of rock, they would have the same density.
