In this activity you will measure volume and mass to determine the density of several objects.
Conclusion
1. How can you use density to identify a material?
A.Density can be used to identify an object by discovering the mass of your object on the scale, then finding the capacity of an item with a uniform shape.
2. What are limitations of the calculated and indirect volume measurement?
A. An indirect measurement of volume would be by displacement of a liquid by a solid;A direct measurement would be, for example, by measuring the side of a cube and calculating the volume from that
3. Explain the difference between weight and mass.
A.Mass is how much matter you are made up of, it is always the same. Weight is a measure of how hard gravity is pulling on you.
