1. Density Formula Intro
Density = mass
volume

2. Objects with lower density have more space between the molecules.
Objects with higher density have less space between the molecules.

9. Is it possible to find the density of a Snickers Bar?
Volume of a regular solid
Length x Width x Height
12cm x 4cm x 10cm = 480cm3
Mass of the bar
85 grams
Density of the Snickers Bar
Mass ÷ volume
Answer:
0.17 g/cm3
