Pre report. Density Laboratory.

Solve this workshop before the lab practice.

1. Write this vocabulary on your notebook. (You can print it and paste it.)
Vocabulary: Density Laboratory

Buoyancy – the tendency of an object to float. o Buoyancy is a force created by the water that is displaced by an object. The
greater the amount of water displaced by an object, the greater the buoyant force pushing the object up.
Density – the amount of mass in a given volume. o Density is calculated by dividing mass by volume: D = m ÷ V. o Density of
liquids is usually measured in grams per milliliter (g/mL). o Density of solids is usually measured in grams per cubic centimeter
(g/cm3).
Graduated cylinder – device used to measure the volume of liquids.
Mass – the amount of matter in an object. o In the metric system, the basic unit of mass is the gram (g). A paper clip has a mass of
about one gram. o Mass is similar to weight, but it is not exactly the same. Your weight depends on the gravity of the planet you
are on. If you went to the Moon, your mass (amount of matter that makes you up) would be the same, but your weight would be
much less than on Earth.
Matter – something that occupies space and has mass. o Matter can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
Scale – instrument used to measure the weight of objects. o If the force of gravity is known, a scale can be calibrated in units of
mass. For example, on Earth’s surface, an object’s mass (in grams) is equal to its weight (in Newtons) divided by 0.0098.
Volume – the amount of space an object occupies or takes up. o in the metric system, the basic unit of volume is the liter (L),
which is about two pints of water or the volume of a small amount of liquid is expressed in milliliters (mL), while the volume of a
small amount of solid is expressed in cubic centimeters (cm3 or cc). One cubic centimeter is equivalent to one milliliter.
