Pre-lab Questions
Identify the density formula AND write out in words what you must do to calculate density.
Answer: Look at the procedure step 5
Density = Mass
Volume
Divide the cube’s mass by the cube’s volume.

8. Pre-lab Questions
Look up the definition of density and write it on the lines below.
Answer: Look in your SINK!
Density is the amount of mass in a given amount of volume.
How compact an object’s matter is.

9. Pre-lab Questions
The cubes you will be using to calculate density are made of different materials but are the exact same size. Does this mean they will have the same density? Explain.
Answer: Use your prior knowledge.
If they are the SAME size but made of different materials, will they have the SAME density?????

10. Pre-lab Questions
Using your answer to #6, write a hypothesis. It MUST be in an “if, then, because” format.

20. #1. The mass of a cube is 36 grams and its length is 3 cm.
What lab equipment did the student use to measure the mass?
What lab equipment did the student use to measure the length?
What is the volume of the cube?
What is the density of the cube?
Triple Beam Balance
Ruler
V= l x w x h
V= 3 X 3 x 3 = 27 cm3
D = mass/volume
D = 36 g/ 27cm3 = 1.3 g/cm3

21. 74 mL – 50 mL = 24 mL Displacement D = mass/volume
#2. A student wants to find the density of a seashell. The student places the seashell in a graduated cylinder that contains 50 mL of water. The water level rises to 74 mL.
What is the volume of the seashell?
What is this method of determining volume called?
If the mass of the seashell is 8 grams, what is the density of the seashell?
74 mL – 50 mL = 24 mL
Displacement
D = mass/volume
D = 8 g/ 24 mL = 0.3 g/mL
