0807.9.7 Apply an equation to determine the density of an object based on its mass and volume.
-->Measure or calculate the mass, volume, and temperature of a given substance.
Learning Objectives
- Use a triple-beam balance to measure the mass of an object; and use a graduated cylinder or ruler to measure the volume. Then, apply the density formula to determine its density.
- Apply the formulas for calculating density, mass, and volume for given word problems.
- Construct a density column, and determine whether substances will sink or float in water or when compared to other substances.
- Construct a aluminum boat capable of holding more than 50 pennies but fewer than 100 pennies using the density formula in their design.
