100

What are the two values that form the RELATIONSHIP we know as density?

Mass and Volume

100

If the mass of an object is 55g and the volume is 5cm3, what is the density? 

D =  11 g/cm3

100

What do we call the section of a scientific report that has tables and graphs?

Data section

200

What is the formula we use to calculate Density?

D = M/V

200

An object has a mass of 126.72g and you figure the volume by displacing 81.3mL of water. What is the density? Would it float or sink?

D = 1.558 g/cm3

It would sink. 

200

After posing a question, what is the next step?

Do some research

300

When calculating the volume of a solid or liquid, what are the 2 units we might see?

Cm3 and mL

300

What is the mass of an object that has a volume of 38.1 cm3 and a Density of 2.5 g/cm3?

M = 95.25 g

300
What do we call an "educated guess" that we can test?

Hypothesis

400

When using the formula for density, what are we actually doing mathematically with the mass and volume values?

Divide the MASS by the VOLUME

400

What is the volume of an object that has the density of 5.57 g/cm3 and a mass of 49.6 g? 

V = 8.90 cm3

400

Describe what an independent variable is. 

The change you manipulate in an experiment.

500

If we are given the MASS and the DENSITY, and asked to calculate the VOLUME, what do we do?

Use the same formula (D=M/V), plug in the values you are given, and solve! 

500

Calculate the density if the mass is 0.0465 kg and the volume is 0.36 m3 (hint: use King Henry slide to first convert these units into g and cm3)

46.5 g and 36 cm3

D = 1.29

This is a numbered series of steps you will take to test your hypothesis.
