Lesson Goal: BTEOTL Students will be able to identify the relation between mass, volume, and density. Also, Students will begin calculating density using the given information. .

4. What is Density?
Density – the amount of matter that will fit into a given amount of space.
- Density = mass/volume.
- Density is measured in grams/cubic centimeter (g/cm3) or grams/millimeter (g/mL). M D V

5. How can density be used to identify a substance?
Guiding question
How can density be used to identify a substance?
Substances have a specific, unchanging density. You can calculate the density of a substance and then compare it to the known density of various substances.

6. Guiding question
Imagine you went to a planet where the gravity was different from Earth’s. Which would change: your mass or your weight? Explain.
Your weight would change, because weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on the mass of a substance. Mass does not depend on the location of the object.

7. What is Volume?
Volume is the amount of space that a substance or object occupies
*Volume = Length x Width x Height (for regularly shaped objects).
Using water displacement, determine the volume of an irregularity shaped object.
Using a graduated cylinder, determine the volume of liquid
Liquid volume is measured milliliters (mL)
Solids volume is measured in cubic centimeters (cm3)
1 milliliter(mL) is equal to 1 cm3

8. Measuring the volume of an irregular solid using Water Displacement Method
Step 1: Add water to a graduated
cylinder and record the amount.
Step 2: Place the object into the
graduated cylinder.
Step 3: Record the volume of the
water with the object.
Step 4: Find the difference in water
volume by subtracting.
Step 5: Convert the liquid volume
measurement (mL) to the
measurement for solid volume (cm3).
*** Remember: 1 mL = 1 cm3 A B

9. What tools are used to measure volume?
Guiding question
What tools are used to measure volume?
Volume of liquids can be measured with graduated cylinders. Volume of solids can be measured with rulers.

10. Units Mass is grams (g) Volume is cubic centimeters written as cm3
Density is written as g/cm3 (regular object)
Density is often expressed as grams per milliliter, or g/mL (irregular objects)
