Essential Question for Prologue Unit: What information and skills do we need to master before
moving forward in science?
NEXT WEEK: Density quiz, Density of Irregular Objects Lab, Percent Error Calculations; (Science SLO 9/24)
This Week’s Vocabulary: (Define for +1 bonus) mass, volume, density, occupation, weight, pressure,
irregular object

Density Review:

Triple beam balances measure mass in grams

Volume of a regular object (square or rectangle) is found using a ruler and is measured in
cm3 or mL using the formula, volume = length x width x height

Density is calculated by density = mass / volume, and the unit for density is g/cm3 or
g/mL

Water’s density is 1 g/mL, so objects denser than 1 g/mL will sink to the bottom in water.
An object less dense than water will float at a particular level, based on its exact density

Density of A is about 0.2 g/mL since about .2 of the block is below the water

Density of B is about 0.7 g/mL since about .7 of the block is below the water

Density of C is about 1.0 g/mL since the block is floating exactly in the middle of the cup

The volume of an irregular object (not cubic or rectangular) can be found using a
graduated cylinder- Put some water in the cylinder and record the Original Volume of the
water. Slide the object into the cylinder and record the New Volume in the cylinder.
Subtract: New Volume – Original Volume = Volume of irregular object
