DensityDensity
Density: The mass per unit volume of a material. g/mL Density describes how tightly packed a substances molecules are.
Density formula: D=M/V D= Density M= Mass (g) V= Volume (mL)
To find mass: Use a digital scale (Grams) To find volume: Use water displacement (mL)
Water Displacement Process If you have an object high in mass but displaces little water, then the object will sink in water. Example = Penny
Water Displacement Process If you have an object low in mass but displaces a lot of water, then the object will float in water. Example = Marshmallow
4 Fun Facts 1. Water has the density of 1.0
4 Fun Facts 2. All matter has a density greater than zero.
4 Fun Facts 3. If an object has a density < 1.0 then the object will float.
4 Fun Facts 4. If an object has a density > 1.0 then the object will sink.
Good to Know If an object has the density of very close to 1.0 such as , then the object will suspend in water.

That was amazing!
