1 Aim: What is density and how can it be measured
Aim: What is density and how can it be measured? Do Now: What is the difference between something being dense and something being heavy?

2 Heavy Dense

3 Matter Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. In other words, matter is anything that has mass and volume. The main three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. The particles are arranged differently in each state of matter.

4 Mass is a measurement of how much matter is in the object.
What is mass? Mass is a measurement of how much matter is in the object. Units English vs. Metric Which is Larger? 1 Pound or 100 Grams 1 Kilogram or 1 Pound 1 Ounce or 1000 Milligram

5 Mass

6 Measuring Mass

7 What is Volume? Volume is a measure of the space occupied by a sample of matter Basic Unit is a liter (L or l) 1 Liter (l) = 1000 milliliter (ml) 1milliliter (ml) = 1cm3 (1c.c) = 1 gram Which is larger? 1 liter or 1500 milliliters 200 milliliters or 1.2 liters 12 cm3 or 1.2 milliliters

8 Measuring Volume

9 Measuring Solid Volume

10 Density Density is ratio of mass of an object to its volume.
Density is an intensive property; an intensive property is a property that depends on the type of matter in a sample, not the amount of matter.

11 Density Equations When looking for density When looking for volume
When looking for mass Mass = density x volume

12 Sample Problems Your teacher gives you a little square block metal which is exactly 1 centimeter cubed. It is small, but weighs 4.5 grams. What is its density? A piece of metal weighs 3 grams and has a density of 2.70 grams per cubic centimeter. What must be its volume?
