Measuring Mass and Calculating Density

2. Activity 9: Measuring Mass and Calculating Density
White Space ?:
Name three objects you think have a large mass and three objects you think have a smaller mass.
Challenge Question: How can you use the mass and volume of an object to calculate the density?
Background: Read p A-36 and write down three facts
Vocabulary:
Density: the amount of mass in a given volume (g/cm3) or (g/ml3)
Mass: the amount of matter (stuff) in an object
Weight: the mass of an object with the force of gravity pushing down on it.
