What is density?
Density is a comparison of how much matter there is in a certain amount of space.
Density is defined as the ratio of mass to the volume of a particular substance.
This box is very dense with all of the molecules packed closely together.

Which one is more dense?
Demonstration: People in a square
How about this: Which square is more dense?

Density is a physical property
Density is a physical property of matterEach substance has a specific density which
can be used to help determine what a substance is
Gold has a density of
19.30g/cm3 so it feels very heavy in comparison to other materials.

Water
Pure water has a density of 1.0 g/mLAnything with a density greater than one
will sink, less than one will float

What is density?
Density = mass OR mass ÷ volume.
volume
Units for density: g or g .
cm3 mL
Why are these the units for density?Mass is measured in grams, and volume can be
measured in cubic centimeters (cm3) or milliliters (mL).
ALWAYS REMEMBER
UNITS!

Mass over volume:
The m at the top stands for mass, with the v at the bottom for volume.

Let’s try a density problem together
Frank has a paper clip. It has a mass of 9g and a volume of 3cm3. What is its density?
Frank also has an eraser. It has a mass of 3g, and a volume of 1cm3. What is its density?
![Page 12: Understanding Density. What is density? Density is a comparison of how much matter there is in a certain amount of space. Density is defined as the ratio](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfaa1a28abf838c9a5d2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Work on these problems with your neighbor.
Jack has a rock. The rock has a mass of 6g and a volume of 3cm3. What is the density of the rock?
Jill has a gel pen. The gel pen has a mass of 8g and a volume of 2cm3. What is the density of the rock?

Now, try these on your own.
Al’Licia has a watch. It has a mass of 4g and a volume of 2cm3. What is the density of the watch?
Mia has a wallet. It has a mass of 15g and a volume of 5cm3. What is the density of the wallet?

Liquid Layers
If you pour together liquids that don’t mix and have different densities, they will form liquid layers.
The liquid with the highest density will be on the bottom.
The liquid with the lowest density will be on the top.

Liquid Layers
Check out this picture from your book. Which layer has the highest density?
Which layer has the lowest density?
Imagine that the liquids have the following densities: 10g/cm3. 3g/cm3.6g/cm3. 5g/cm3.
Which number would go with which layer?
![Page 16: Understanding Density. What is density? Density is a comparison of how much matter there is in a certain amount of space. Density is defined as the ratio](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfaa1a28abf838c9a5d2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Liquid Layers – Try with your neighbor
Which liquid has the highest density?
Which liquid has the lowest density?
Which liquid has the middle density?
![Page 17: Understanding Density. What is density? Density is a comparison of how much matter there is in a certain amount of space. Density is defined as the ratio](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfaa1a28abf838c9a5d2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Liquid Layers – Try on your own!
Imagine that the liquids on the right have the following densities:1.5g/cm3 1.0g/cm3
0.3g/cm3 0.9g/cm3
0.7g/cm3 1.2g/cm3
Match the colors to the correct densities.
0.3g/cm3
0.7g/cm3
0.9g/cm3
1.0g/cm3
1.2g/cm3
1.5g/cm3

Review
What is the formula for density?What happens if you pour together liquids
that have different densities?Will the liquid on the top have the highest
or lowest density?Will the liquid on the bottom have the
highest or lowest density?
