What is density?

Back

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated using the formula: density = mass / volume.

What is the formula for density?

Back

density = mass / volume

What units are used to measure mass?

Back

grams (g)

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm³)

If an object has a density of 1.2 g/mL, will it sink or float in water? (Hint: Density of Water = 1 g/mL)

Back

sink

Front

What tool is commonly used to measure mass?

Back

triple beam balance

Front

What is the relationship between density and buoyancy?

Back

An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid it is in; it will sink if its density is greater.

How do you convert grams to kilograms?

Back

To convert grams to kilograms, divide the number of grams by 1000.

What is the density of water?

Back

1 g/mL

What happens to the density of an object if its mass increases while its volume remains the same?

Back

The density increases.
