    Density tells you how much mass is contained within a certain volume. To calculate density, you measure both the volume and mass of a material. Volume can be measured using a measuring cylinder for liquids or by determining dimensions for solids. Mass is measured using a scale. Density is calculated by taking the mass and dividing by the volume. Common materials like water, vegetable oil, and syrup have different densities, allowing them to be layered based on their density when placed in the same container.

    DENSITY

    BY:JUN XIAN
    What is density?
    DENSITY TELLS YOU HOW MUCH MASS THERE IS IN A CERTAIN VOLUME.
    THESE BLOCKS ALL HAVE THE SAME VOLUME,BUT THEY HAVE DIFFERENT MASSES.THIS IS
    BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT DENSITIES.
    TO WORK OUT THE DENSITY OF ANY ANY MATERIAL,WHETHER SOLID,LIQUID,OR GAS,YOU NEED
    TO MEASURE TWO THINGS THE VOLUME AND THE MASS.
    Measuring the volume and mass of liquid
    YOU CAN FIND THE VOLUME OF A LIQUID SUCH AS WATER WITH A MEASURING
    CYLINDER.MEASURING CYLINDERS.MEASURING CYLINDERS MEASURE VOLUME IN CM3 OR
    MILLILITRES (ML).1 ML IS EQUAL TO 1CM3.
    WATER CLINGS TO THE SIDES OF ITS CONTAINER,AND CURVES UPWARDS SLIGHTY AT THE
    EDGES.THE CURVED SHAPE IS CALLED A MENISCUS.
    WHEN YOU READ THE VOLUME IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD AT THE SCALE TO
    GET AN ACCURATE READING,RATHER THAN LOOKING UP OR DOWN AT IT.
    Measuring the volume and mass of a solid
    FINDING THE VOLUME OF A REGULARLY-SHAPED SOLID OBJECT IS EASY.
    VOLUME=WIDTH X LENGTH X HEIGHT
    =6CM X 10CM X 9CM
    =540CM3

    IF THE SOLID DOES NOT HAVE A REGULARLY SHAPE,THEN YOU CAN FIND ITS VOLUME BY
    PUTTING IT IN WATER,AS SHOWN ON THE RIGHT.
    Calculating density
    TO CALCULATE THE DENSITY YOU USR THIS EQUATION:
    DENSITY=MASS DIVIDE VOLUME
    MASS IS USUALLY MEASURED IN KILOGRAM (KG), BUT SMALLER MASSES ARE MEASURED IN
    GRAMS (G). VOLUME IS USUALLY MEASURED IN METRES CUBED (M3),BUT SMALLER VOLUMES
    ARE MEASURED IN CENTIMETRES CUBED (CM3).THE UNITS OF DENSITY WILL DEPEND ON THE
    UNITS OF MASS AND VOLUME THAT YOU USE.
    Materials
    • SYRUP
    • VEGETABLE OIL
    • WATER
    • FOOD COLOURING
    Step by step
    1)FIRST,MIX WATER WITH FOOD COLOURING OF YOUR COLOUR CHOICES AND POUR IT TO THE
    CUP.
    2)THEN,POUR SYRUP ON THE CUP.
    3)FINALLY,POUR VEGETABLE OIL ON THE CUP.
    4)NOW,YOU CAN TAKE ANYTHING TO TEST IT OUT WHICH LEVEL WILL IT FALL TO.
    Question 1
    TRUE OR FALSE:  THE DENSITY OF A SPECIFIC TYPE OF MATERIAL NEVER CHANGES.  

    A.TRUE B.FALSE
    Question 2
    WILL AN OBJECT WITH A DENSITY OF 1.01 G/CM3 FLOAT OR SINK WHEN IN PURE WATER?

    A.FLOAT B.SINK
    Question 3
    A. THEY ARE WARMER THAN WATER
    B. THEY ARE COOLER THAN WATER
    C. THEY ARE MORE DENSE THAN WATER
    D. THEY ARE LESS DENSE THAN WATER
    Question 4
    DENSITY IS...

    A.THE AMOUNT OF MASS IN AN OBJECT


    B.THE AMOUNT OF SPACE AN OBJECT TAKES UP
    C.THE AMOUNT OF MASS IN A GIVEN SPACE
    D.THE WEIGHT OF AN OBJECT
    THAT’S RIGHT!
