What is mass?

• the measure of how much space an object takes up

• the amount of material in an object

• anything that has mass and takes up space

• the term that describes whether an object sinks or floats

What is relative density?

• a term that describes whether an object sinks or floats when compared to water

• floating

• sinking

• the measure of how much space an object takes up

Draw an example of something having LESS RELATIVE DENSITY than water. Don't forget to label your drawing.

Draw an example of something having MORE RELATIVE DENSITY than water. Don't forget to label your drawing.
