Demos for this lecture

• 1 kg mass (Is it heavy?)
• 50 ml of alcohol and 50ml of water in graduated
  cylinders on a double pan balance.

3
Density

• Density is how compact matter is.
• More mass shoved into a certain amount of space
  makes something more dense.

4
Density Considers Two Things

• How much mass is present.
• How much volume does it take up.
• Make sure to consider both these factors when
  discussing density.

Does it Float?

• If something floats or rises it is less dense
  than the material it is floating/rising in.
• Objects of greater density will sink.
