Analysis Questions

1. Describe the shape of the water line. Why is it that shape?2. Describe the shape of the cube line. Why is it that shape?3. Describe the shape of the cylinder line. Why is it that shape?4. How do you calculate slope? What is the slope of the water line?5. Choose one cube dot. Predict what the volume would be if you cut

the cube in half. Predict what the mass would be if you cut the cube in half.

6. Choose one water dot. Predict what the mass of the water would be if you only had 1 mL.

9/23/15 Density Notes

Density is a physical property that is a characteristic property.Characteristic property – something that is unique to a substance.Density = mass / volume

Why isn’t volume a characteristic property?Answer:

Why isn’t mass a characteristic property?Answer:

Density

Calculate the density of the cubes and the cylinders.Record the density on the data table.

One of the cylinders floated in water. What was the density of that cylinder? Why did it float in water?
