How does the density of the whole clay piece compare to the densities of the two pieces of clay that it came from the original? Make a claim.
What evidence supports the claim that the density of a full piece of clay is the same as it is for a piece of clay that came from the original?
What scientific reasoning explains why a piece of clay does not change density if it is broken in half?
Why can you use density to identify a substance?
If you were able to compress the clay and the particles moved closer together, how would that affect the density of the clay?
If a gold bar has a density of 19.3 g/cm3, what is the density of a gold bar that is half the size of the original one?
(a) has a mass of 8g and a volume of 4cm3
Gold
Mercury
Lead
Iron
Aluminum
Bone
Which object has the lowest density in this picture?
A student measured the mass and volume of a small cube made of an unknown metal. The mass of the cube is 25.0 g, and the volume of the cube is 3.19 cm³.
