Keywords:
  • Density: A measure of the compactness of a substance, which is equal to the amount of mass per unit of volume (2)
  • Volume: A measure of the amount of space a substance takes up. (2)
  • Mass: A measure of the amount of matter in a substance, measured in kg. (2)
  • Density: A measure of the compactness of a substance, which is equal to the amount of mass per unit of volume. (1)
  • Gas: Particles are spread apart and move about randomly. So they have high amounts of kinetic energy but attraction between particles is weak. (1)
  • Solid: Contain closely packed particles which may vibrate but remain in position. Attraction between particles is very strong but kinetic energy of particles is very low. (1)
  • Liquid: Particles are touching but able to freely move over each other, resulting in substances in this state having no fixed shape. . Particles have moderate kinetic energy and attraction. (1)

T Lower: Density is the how heavy a material is for a given size. Higher: Density is the ratio of mass to volume. What is density?
D Measure the mass and volume of material sample blocks / objects using eureka cans. Calculate density. Conversion of units and the use of unit prefixes. How can we use the a eureka can to measure the volume of an object?
A Students design tables to record measurement and calculations.

W For the same material: - Solids are the most dense; - Gases are the least dense; - With liquids between. How does the density change between solid, liquid and gas?
