Methods for Calculating Density
Calculating Density
Remember, Density = mass/volume
Mass is determined using a scale
Volume is calculated several different
ways
Finding Volume
To find the volume of a
liquid, use a graduated
cylinder
Make sure to read the bottom
of the meniscus
Finding Volume
Length x Width x
Height
Volume of a regular
object, such as a
wooden block
Finding Volume
Water Displacement Method
- Read the initial volume of water in a
graduated cylinder
- Place object into cylinder
- Read the final volume of water
- Final – Initial = Volume of the object
Density Water Displacement Lab
Ms. Ose will assign lab groups
Lab Safety/ Clean Up
No closed toe shoes or aprons are required
If you spill, clean the water with a paper towel
When you finish collecting data, return the lab area as you
found it
Density Practice
When you finish the lab activity begin working on
the Density practice problems. Whatever problems
you do not finish will become your homework.
