Density September 9

l  Learning Target
I will learn how to use mass and volume measurements to find the density of objects and substances.
l  Criteria for Success
I will be able to explain how density can be used to compare different objects and substances.
l  Soluble
capable of being dissolved
Examples:
sugar and water
salt and water
l  Insoluble
incapable of being dissolved
Examples:
sand and water
metal and water
l  Saturated Solution
A solution in which the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved
l  Unsaturated Solution
A solution which can dissolve more solute
l  Sugar and Water Observation Activity
l  Density
l  What is density?
Density is a comparison of how much matter there is in a certain amount of space.
l  Which one is more dense?
Demonstration: People in a square
How about this: Which square is more dense?
l  Which one is more dense?
l  Mass: A measure of how much matter is in an object
Volume the measure of the amount of space something takes up
Density =  mass         
                   volume
                                   
l  Let’s try a density problem together
Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9g and a volume of 3cm3. What is its density?
l  Let’s try a density problem together
Frank also has an eraser. It has a mass of 3g, and a volume of 1mL. What is its density?
l  Work on these problems with your table.
Jack has a rock. The rock has a mass of 6g and a volume of 3mL. What is the density of the rock?
l  Work on these problems with your table.
Jill has a gel pen. The gel pen has a mass of 8g and a volume of 2cm3. What is the density of the gel pen?
l  Now, try these on your own.
Victoria has a watch. It has a mass of 4g and a volume of 2cm3. What is the density of the watch?
l  Now, try these on your own.
Mia has a wallet. It has a mass of 15g and a volume of 5cm3. What is the density of the wallet?
l  How do we measure mass and volume?
Explain how density can be used to compare different objects and substances.
