SC.8.P.8.4 Classify and compare substances on the basis of characteristic physical properties that can be demonstrated or measured; for example, density, thermal or electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetic properties, melting and boiling points, and know that these properties are independent of the amount of the sample.
SC.8.P.8.3 Explore and describe the densities of various materials through measurement of their masses and volumes.
Objectives:
 Identify that density is a ratio of mass to volume by measuring the mass and volumes of various materials and calculating density.
 Manipulate the density equation in order to solve for density, mass and volume, when given the other two.
 Defend the claim that the densities of substances will not change if the amount of the sample changes.
Essential Questions
How can density be used to reliably identify unknown substances?

3. What’s the Matter? What is matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Your body is matter, but light and sound are not matter.

4. The Properties of Matter
A property describes how an object looks, feels, or acts.
The objects shown here have different kinds of properties:

5. Matter and its properties
Properties are the specific characteristics that describe matter
-Matter can be identified using its specific properties
All matter has the general properties of mass, weight, volume, and density
Other properties are physical or chemical
–Physical: Does not change the identity of the matter
– Chemical: Changes the matter in determining the property

6. What is mass? describes the amount of matter in an object.
gram (g) common unit of mass.
Objects of the same size can be made up of different amounts of matter.

7. How does mass differ from weight?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object.
The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force on the object and the greater the weight will be.
Mass stays the same for an object even when increased or decreased gravitational forces change the weight of the object.

8. How are mass and weight measured?
A triple-beam balance can be used to determine mass.
Weight is measured with a spring scale.
The standard scientific unit for weight is the newton (N).

9. V.S.

10. Measuring Space
How is the amount of space occupied by matter measured?
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up, or occupies.
A balloon and a bowling ball of the same size have the same volume but very different masses.

11. How can volume be determined?
Volume can be determined by a formula if it has a well-defined shape.
rectangular solids 
volume = (length)(width)(height), or V = lwh.

12. How can volume be determined?
Liquid volume is measured with a beaker or graduated cylinder in liters (L) or milliliters (mL).
Displacement of water in a graduated cylinder can be used to find the volume of irregular-shaped solid objects.

14. Which item is more dense?

15. Packing It In! What is density?
Density is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume.
The density of a substance remains the same no matter how much of the substance you have.

16. How is density determined?
Density is mass divided by volume, or D = m/V.
Common units for expressing density are grams per cubic centimeter, or g/cm3.
In water, which has a density of 1 g/mL, objects with density greater than 1 g/mL sink. Objects with density less than 1 g/mL float.

17. How can density be used to reliably identify unknown substances?
Densities of substances will not change if the amount of the sample changes
20 mL
100 mL
How can density be used to reliably identify unknown substances?

19. Turn and Talk
How can substances with similar masses have different densities?
2. If you have a gold ring and a larger gold necklace, how would the densities of the two objects compare to one another?
