Lesson-1 Density

This document provides instructions for students to measure and calculate the density of various materials using different methods. It begins by asking students to write the title "Density" in their book. It then reviews the density formula of density equals mass divided by volume. It describes how to determine density by direct measurement of an object's mass and volume, including for regular shapes using length, width and height and for liquids using displacement. Finally, it instructs students to measure the density of various materials like brass, steel, and wood provided, designing their own results table.

Do now!

Can you write your name on your book, stick the sheets in the inside cover and then write the title Density please?

Lets have a ball!


.

This lesson
Recall and use the relationship between density, mass and volume
Density = mass/volume = m/V

Describe how to determine density using direct measurements of mass and volume

Density

Density
Remember that density is the mass of one cubic centimetre (or cubic metre) of a substance.
So for example, gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm3. This means one cubic centimetre (cm3) of gold has a mass of 19.3 grams (or one cubic metre of gold has a mass of 19300 kg)

kg/m3 kg

Density = mass volume


m3

Can you copy this please!

Or using the formula triangle;

m DxV

Density of regular shapes


volume = length x width x height
height width

length

density = mass/volume

mass using a scale

Density of liquids
Volume

Mass of liquid

Mass of liquid and cylinder

Mass of cylinder

Density = mass/volume

Density of irregular shapes (1)

Difference in level gives the volume of the shape

mass

Density = mass/volume

Density of irregular shapes (2)

mass Displacement can volume of object

Density = mass/volume

Thats it!
.
We dont have to write any of that down because hes going to give you a sheet!

Now measure the density of the materials and objects on the trolley using the methods described.
You have brass, Perspex, steel, copper, wood, aluminium, lead and alcohol
Design your own table of results (using a pencil and ruler). Take some time to think about this!
