How is mass and volume related to density?
Density is the mass per unit volume
Amount of mass packed into a certain volume
Matter and Density - Review
• What is matter?
– Anything that has mass and takes up space
• What is mass?
– Amount of matter in an object
• What is volume?
– Amount of space an object takes up
Let’s Demonstrate!!
• We are going to use a graduated cylinder to
measure the mass of a certain volume of water
• Then we will plot the data ( mass vs. volume )
Plot the Data
Density of Water
• 1 g / mL !!
Comparing Densities
• Let’s drop stuff in our water!!
• BLOOP!!
• Why do certain things sink and other things not?

• Why do certain things sink and other things not?
• Some things are more dense than water
• Others are less dense
Oil & Water
• When you mix
• Which one is
more dense than
the other?
