Density

Density

Amount of mass within a given volume.

Mass

Amount of matter in an object

Volume

Amount of space an object takes up

grams (g)

unit for measuring mass

cubic centimeters (cm3)

unit for measuring volume of a solid

milliliters (mL)

unit for measuring volume of a liquid

centimeters (cm)

unit for measuring length (1/100th of a meter)

D = M / V

Formula for density

L x W x H

Formula for finding volume of regular shape

Liquid Displacement

Process for finding the volume of an irregular solid

Weight

A measure of gravity on the mass of an object

Density of water

1 g/mL (or 1 g/cm³)

Object floats in water

if density of object is less than dense than water

Matter

anything that has mass and occupies space

M= D x V

formula for mass

V= M/D

formula for volume

Float

When Density is less than another object (Ex: Less than 1 g/mL if in water)

Sink

When Density is greater than another object (Ex: More than 1 g/mL if in water)
