Notes for Density:

Mass- the amount of matter that makes up an object

Volume - the space that an object takes up

Density= mass/volume

*** In class you have been learning how to apply your measuring skills in order to find density. You broke up into three groups. Part 1) Finding the density of irregularly shaped object (large hex nut, small hex nut, cylinder #1, cylinder #2, cylinder #3) Part 2) Finding the density of a single block and then when the block is doubled. Part 3) Finding the density of water. ***

This is an essential part of physical science so let's make sure that we understand how to determine densities of different objects and substance.
