26. Find the density of the block of wood.
Finding Density
A block of wood has a length of 2 cm, width of 5 cm, height of 8 cm. The mass of the block is 20 g.
Find the density of the block of wood.

27. Find the density of the block of wood.
Finding Density
A block of wood has a length of 2 cm, width of 5 cm, height of 8 cm. The mass of the block is 20 g.
Find the density of the block of wood.
Mass = 20 g
Volume =2 x 5 x 8 = 80 cm3
Density = 20 / 80 = 0.25 g/ cm3

28. Graph Reading and interpreting
There will be a few questions on the test where you will need to read a graph and interpret the data on it. See the next slide for an example.

29. Table to read Substance Density g/cm3 Density g/cm3 Wood (solid)
Pyrite (solid)
5.02 g/cm3
Ice (solid)
0.93 g/cm3
Zinc (solid)
7.13 g/cm3
Water (liquid)
1.00  g/cm3
Silver (solid)
10.5 g/cm3
Aluminum (solid)
2.7 g/cm3
Mercury (LIQUID)
13.55 g/cm3

30. Essay questions
There will be two essay questions on the test that are both worth 4 points. In order to get all 4 points, students must show mastery of the terms. A definition will not be good enough. I expect more than just what the word means. These are the 2 essay questions:
What is matter?
What is density?
