1. The Density Column

2. Using Density to Predict Position If we put a solid into a liquid, and the solid is more dense than the liquid it will If the liquid is more dense then the solid will The same thing goes for all liquids. The least dense floats on top of more dense. sink Float

3. Question … If the lead weight is dropped into the beaker of water… will it sink or float? d= 11.4 g/ml What will happen if it is dropped into the mercury?

4. ALL solids have the same volume of 15.6 ml Masses : Calculate the densities first! pine = 5.4g acrylic = 17.3g steel = 128.5g wax = 9.8g pvc = 13.7g Draw the column with the densities
