Density
EQ: Why do some objects float and other
objects sink?

What is density?
.
Density is a comparison of how much matter there is in a certain amount of space.
Each substance has a specific density.
Density can be used to identify a substance
Substance Density (at 20°C
Wood 0.70 g/cm3
Corn oil 0.92 g/cm3
Water 1.00 g/cm3
Rubber 1.34 g/cm3
Copper 8.80 g/cm3

Which one is more dense?
Demonstration: People in a square
How about this: Which square is more dense?

Which one is more dense?
Now which one is more dense?

What is density?
ALWAYS REMEMBER
UNITS!

Let’s try a density problem together
Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9 g and a volume of 3 cm3. What is its density?9 g ÷ 3 cm3 = 3 g/cm3
Frank also has an eraser. It has a mass of 3 g, and a volume of 1 cm3. What is its density?3 g ÷ 1 cm3 = 3 g/cm3

Work on these problems with your neighbor.
Jack has a rock. The rock has a mass of 6 g and a volume of 3 cm3. What is the density of the rock?
Jill has a gel pen. The gel pen has a mass of 8 g and a volume of 2 cm3. What is the density of the rock?

Now, try these on your own.
Alicia has a watch. It has a mass of 4 g and a volume of 2 cm3. What is the density of the watch?
Mia has a wallet. It has a mass of 15 g and a volume of 5 cm3. What is the density of the wallet?

What if you already know density?
Use the density triangle, or DMV, to solve for the missing part.
D = M÷V
V = M÷D
M = D×V

Liquid Layers – Try with your neighbor
Which liquid has the highest density?
Which liquid has the lowest density?
Which liquid has the middle density?

Liquid Layers – Try on your own!
Imagine that the liquids on the right have the following densities:15 g/ml 10 g/ml3 g/ml 9 g/ml7 g/ml 12 g/ml
Match the colors to the correct densities.
3 g/ml
7 g/ml
9 g/ml
10 g/ml
12 g/ml
15 g/ml
