1. Activator – Get out blue sheets
What is the formula for density?
How can you use displacement to find the volume of an irregular- shaped object?
What is the formula for volume of a rectangular prism or cube?

2. Density Day 2
September 21

3. Objective
Students will be able to calculate the density of a given substance.

4. Density Remember from yesterday:
Density is the relationship between mass and volume
The formula is: density = mass volume
Units for density will have two parts, either grams per milliliter (g/mL) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3)

5. Yesterday’s Practice Problems
Go over yesterday’s work

6. Other Density Problems
You can use the formula d = m/v and find any missing value.
For example, if you are given the density and volume, you can calculate mass:
Mass = density x volume
The density of a substance is 4.0 g/cm3. If a sample of the substance has a volume of 25 cm3, then what is its mass?

7. The density of a substance is 4. 0 g/cm3
The density of a substance is 4.0 g/cm3. If a sample of the substance has a volume of 25 cm3, then what is its mass?

8. Other Density Problems
If you are given the density and mass, you can calculate volume:
Volume = mass / density
You have a lead ball with a mass of 420 g. The density of lead is 10.5 g/cm3. What is the volume of the ball?

9. You have a lead ball with a mass of 420 g. The density of lead is 10
You have a lead ball with a mass of 420 g. The density of lead is 10.5 g/cm3. What is the volume of the ball?

10. Multi-Step Problems
A graduated cylinder is filled with water to a level of 40.0 mL.
When a piece of copper is lowered into the cylinder, the water level rises to 63.4 mL. Find the volume of the copper sample.
If the density of the copper is 8.9 g/cm3, what is its mass?
