What instrument did you use to find the mass of the objects?

• Mathematical Formula

• Beaker

• Graduated Cylinder

• Scale

What method did you use to find the volume of the object?

• Mathematical Formula

• Scale

• Water Displacement

• Balance

What is the volume of all the cubes?

• 50 g

• 50 mL

• 100 mL

• 150 mL

How do you find the density of an object?

• Density = Mass/Volume

• Density = Mass - Volume

• Density = Volume/Mass

• Density = Mass * Volume

What is the density of water?

• 1 g

• 1 mL/g

• 1 g/mL

• 1 mL

Objects with a density greater than 1 g/mL will ______ in water.

• Float

• Sink
