The Density Lab

18. The Density Lab
Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to accurately measure the density of regular and irregular solid objects to determine if they float or sink. Data was obtained using measurements of mass and volume from various lab measurements. Standard 8b: Students will know how to calculate the density of substances from measurements of mass and volume.
Background: Density is a very important measurement in science. Since all substances have both mass and volume, all substances have density. Each individual substance has a specific density. Density is the thickness in which molecules are packed. It can effect everything from weight to stability. For instance, two items might be the same size but if one of the items has a higher density it will be heavier. Being able to calculate density makes it possible to identify many unknown substances accurately.  For example, measuring density is how jewelers identify if something is real or fake gold.  It makes it possible to determine if a ring is a valuable diamond, or just a cheap imitation.  Density is also used throughout industry as a way of separating materials that are made of different substances. Mass is defined as the amount of matter in an object. It is similar to weight, except that weight can change in different places in the universe.  On the moon, there is less gravity so an astronaut would weigh less than on earth.  But the mass of the astronaut, the amount of matter in their body, does not change.  It stays the same no matter where they are. Mass is measured with a scale in the metric unit of grams.  One drop of water weighs about 1 gram. Volume is the amount of space and object takes up.  Large objects take up lots of space and have a large volume.  Small objects have a small volume.  The metric unit of volume is the liter.  A single drop of water has the volume of one milliliter (ml). 
         There are three ways to measure volume depending on if you are measuring a liquid or solid, and the shape of the solid. When measuring liquids,  pour the liquid in a graduated cylinder and read the milliliter marks on the side of the beaker.  Be sure to look at eye level so the reading is accurate! Rectangular Solids:  Use the formula L X W X H.  Measure the length, width, and height of a rectangular solid with a ruler.  Multiply the three measurements.  If you multiply cm X cm X cm, the unit is cm3.  This cubic centimeter is exactly the same amount of space as a milliliter.  (1 cm3 = 1 ml).
Since the shape of an irregular solid does not have a definite length, width, or height, it is impossible to use that formula. To measure volume, you must use the displacement method, also known as “the bathtub method”.  Add some water to a graduated cylinder.  Read the water level.  Put the object in the water, and see how much the water level rises. Density is the amount of matter (mass) in a unit of space (volume).  The formula for density is mass divided by volume.  (D = M/V) The unit for density is g/ml (“grams per milliliter”) or g/cm3 (“grams per centimeter cubed”) Since a milliliter and a cubic centimeter are the same amount of space, the units for density are actually the same, too. The density of water is 1 g/ml.  This means that one gram of water occupies one milliliter of space. If a substance has more matter than water in the same amount of space, it will be heavier. Therefore it will sink in water.  So if it has a density of 2 g/ml, it sinks.  What substances do you think have a density of more than one? If a substance has less matter than water in the same amount of space, it will be lighter.  So a density of .5 g/ml means that this substance with float!  What would you predict has a density of less than one?

20. Materials: Balance, graduated cylinder, beaker, pipet, overflow can, red bolt, plastic square, rubber
stopper, cork stopper, metal cylinder, golf ball, tile plate, wood cylinder,
Hypothesis: Part 1:
Red bolt sink/float
Clear rectangle sink/float
Rubber stopper sink/float
Cork stopper sink/float
Tile Plate sink/float
Rock Sample sink/float
Grey Pad sink/float
Hypothesis Part 2: A=2 B=1 C=4 D=3
Procedure:
1. Red Bolt: We filled the graduated cylinder to exactly 50mL with water. We used the dropper to make sure we were accurate. We placed the red bolt in the cylinder and waited until the water level rose. We Subtracted 50mL from the new level of water, this was the volume of the red bolt. We removed it from the cylinder and dried it. We used the balance to measure the mass of the red bolt. We calculated the density and recorded our data.
2. We compared the rubber stopper with the cork stopper. We measured the mass of each in grams and recorded it to our data sheet. We carefully conducted 3 water displacement trials for both the rubber stopper and the cork stopper. We recorded the average volume for both. We calculated the density and recorded it to our data sheet.
3.We compared the clear rectangle (A) to the tile plate. We measured the length, width and height for each to calculate the volume. We carefully used the balance to measure the mass of both. We calculated the density for each and recorded it to our data sheet.
4.We measured the mass of the rock sample on the balance. We conducted 3 water displacement trials to determine the volume of the rock sample. We calculated the density of the rock sample and recorded it to our results table.

21. 5. We obtained the Styrofoam bowl from the lab table
5.We obtained the Styrofoam bowl from the lab table. We calculated the volume of each and then used the balance to find the mass in grams. Determine the density of each cube and record it to your data table.
6. We carefully measured the length, width and height of the pad to determine volume. We used the balance to measure the mass of the pad. We calculated the density and recorded it to our data sheet.
Results: Mass (g) Volume (cm3) Density (g/cm3)
Red bolt 15 g 13 cm g/cm3
Rubber stopper 34 g 15 cm g/cm3
Cork stopper 4 g 30 cm g.cm3
Clear rectangle 15 g 15 cm3 1 g.cm3
Tile Plate 65 g 20 cm g/cm3
Rock sample 80 g 30 cm g/cm3
Cube A
Cube B
Cube C
Cube D
Conclusion: My hypothesis was mostly correct. I was not able to correctly determine whether the clear rectangle would sink or float from my
original hypothesis. I did make some errors in measurement, but corrected them with additional trials.

27. Socratic Seminars What is it? What isn’t it? What is the goal?
What are the rules?
An activity that allows student to express
their beliefs/opinions about a specific topic
as well as hear the beliefs/opinions of others
without judgement.
It is not a debate. There are no disagreements.
To hear and share as many viewpoints as
possible.
Only one person speaks at a time. You must
Refer to the facts in the text to support your
statement or statements.

28. Can I change my viewpoint
during the discussion?
When it is my turn to speak
what do I say?
Example: Let’s say the issue
is school uniforms and you have
To either agree that all schools
Should have uniforms or not.
Yes. Students would simply move
to the other side of the room.
Make a statement of either
agreement or disagreement with
the issue that was researched.
follow that with evidence from the
text that supports your statement.
(should be what you highlighted)
Your opening statement might be
“I do not agree that all schools should
require uniforms. Research has shown
that students who are required to
wear uniforms at school do not
always get better grades.”,
