1. Notes

2. What is density? Density is a comparison of how much matter there is in a certain amount of space. (how compact matter is) Mass: how much matter makes up an object Volume: how much matter can fit in a place

3. Which one is more dense? Demonstration: People in a square How about this: Which square is more dense? AB

4. Which one is more dense? Now which one is more dense? B A

5. Equations? Density = mass OR mass ÷ volume. volume Units for density: g cm 3 Why is this the unit for density? unit for mass divided by unit for volume ALWAYS REMEMBER UNITS!

6. Sample 1: (Easy) Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9g and a volume of 3cm 3. What is its density? Step 1. Write the formula D = M V Step 2: Substitute in what you know. D = 9 g 3 cm 3

7. Step 3: Solve for unknown variable. Step 4: Label your answer D = 9 g 3 cm 3 D = 3g/cm 3 = 3 g/cm 3

8. Sample Problem #2 (Medium) You have a sample of plastic whose density is 0.78 g/cm 3 and has a volume of 4 cm 3. What is the mass of the plastic? Step 1. Write the formula D = M V Step 2: Substitute in what you know. 0.78 g/cm 3 = M 4 cm 3

9. Step 3: Solve for unknown variable. Step 4: Labeled answer Mass = 3.12 g 0.78 g/cm 3 = M 4 cm 3 x 4 cm 3 4 cm 3 x 4 x 0.78 g = M 3.12 g = M

10. Sample Problem #3 (Hard) You have a sample of silver whose density is 10.5 g/cm 3, and the mass of your silver is 3 g. What is the volume of the silver? Step 1. Write the formula D = M V Step 2: Substitute in what you know 10.5 g/cm 3 = 3 g V

11. Step 3: Solve for unknown variable. 10.5 g/cm 3 = 3 g V x V V x V x 10.5 g/cm 3 = 3 g 10.5 g/cm 3 V = 3 10.5 cm 3 = 0.29 cm 3 Step 4: Labeled answer Volume = 0.29 cm 3

12. Liquid Layers If you pour together liquids that don’t mix and have different densities, they will form liquid layers. The liquid with the highest density will be on the bottom. The liquid with the lowest density will be on the top. Video

13. Liquid Layers…. Check out this picture from your book. Which layer has the highest density? Which layer has the lowest density? Imagine that the liquids have the following densities:  10g/cm 3.3g/cm 3.  6g/cm 3.5g/cm 3. Which number would go with which layer?

14. Liquid Layers – Try with your neighbor Which liquid has the highest density? Which liquid has the lowest density? Which liquid has the middle density?

15. Liquid Layers – Try on your own! Imagine that the liquids on the right have the following densities:  15g/cm 3 10g/cm 3  3g/cm 3 9g/cm 3  7g/cm 3 12g/cm 3 Match the colors to the correct densities. 3g/cm 3 7g/cm 3 9g/cm 3 10g/cm 3 12g/cm 3 15g/cm 3

16. Review What is the formula for density? What happens if you pour together liquids that have different densities? Will the liquid on the top have the highest or lowest density? Will the liquid on the bottom have the highest or lowest density?

17. Super Scientist Question of the Day Jake has a book, a ruler, and a balance. How can Jake find the density of the book with the tools he has?
