    This document defines and explains mass, volume, density, and how to calculate them. It provides the definitions of mass as the amount of matter an object has, measured in kg or g, and volume as the space an object occupies, measured in ml or cm3. Formulas are given for calculating the volume of regular shapes like cubes and cylinders. Density is defined as the mass contained in a given volume, with the formula d=m/v, and units of g/ml or g/cm3. Examples are provided of calculating volume using water displacement and the importance of density.

    Mass, Volume & Density

    8th Grade Science


    What is Mass?
    -The amount of matter an object has.

    -Unit of measurement = kg or g

    -What tool do we use to find mass?


    What is Volume?
    -The quantity of space an object
    occupies.

    -Unit of measurement = ml or cm3


    so which one do you use when?

    -What tools can we use to find


    volume?
    Finding Volume of a Regular
    Shaped Object
    -Volume of a cube = L x W x h

    -Volume of a cylinder = πr2h

    -Volume of a sphere = 4πr3


    3
    Let’s practice! Cube: 2 cm L, 2 cm W, 2 cm h
    Did you say 8 cm3?
    Finding Volume of an Irregular
    Shaped Object
    -Can’t use a ruler!!!

    -Find volume by water displacement method.

    -Volume of water with object – volume of water


    before object

    -Don’t forget to read the graduated cylinder


    from the bottom of the meniscus!!!
    What is the reading
    on this graduated
    cylinder?

    56 ml
    How about this one?
    Be careful!!!

    4.3 ml
    Last one!

    23 ml
    What is Density?
    -How much mass is contained in a given
    volume.
    -Equation: density = mass ÷ volume
    d=m/v
    -What would the unit of measurement be?
    You have to represent both measurements!

    g/ml or g/cm3
    Why is Density Important?

    -Any ideas?

    -Consider 1 kg of iron
    and 1 kg of cotton….

    -Every element has its


    own unique density.
    How could that help?
    The Great Archimedes

    EUREKA!
