What is Density?

Calculating Volume

(amount of space of an object)

• Volume of a box = length X width X height

Answers are in cubic centimeters (cm³)

• ** Important note – one cubic centimeter

(cm³ or cc) in the metric system SI also =

one milliliter (ml) of water.

• And

• One milliliter of water or one cubic

centimeter of water = one gram in

weight/mass.

Therefore

• It is possible in the metric system to weigh

a tank of water by measuring it with a

meter stick.

• How do we measure the volume of an

irregular object?

“like a rock”

• Use the displacement method (2 ways)

1. Use a beaker or graduated cylinder

The difference in change of water level

after placing the object in water in the

volume.

2. Use overflow can, drop object into can

filled with water and catch all the water

from the spout in a graduated cylinder.

The volume is the amount of water that

flowed out.

Density – “an important physical

property of matter”

Defined – a measure of the amount of

matter (mass) that occupies a particular

space (volume)

• If a lot of matter is held or contained in a

small area it is said to have a high density

(gold, lead, mercury)

• The equation for density is

Density = mass ÷ volume = m/v The SI

metric units are

expressed in gm/cm³ or gm/ml

• Water has a density of 1 gm/cm³

• Density numbers that are higher than one

sink, lower than one float.

Dead Sea – high density

Great salt lake - Utah
