Science Notebook Layout DON’T COPY UNDERLINED TEXTMrs. Aguirre’s Webpage:http://www.quia.com/profiles/caguirre Introduction to Density 11/7/11 Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks? Explain. Data Table: Density calculation: Density = Mass/Volume = ___g/ ___cm3 = ____g/cm3 Calculate all densities for cubes on other page using volume found above. Round to nearest hundredth. Include all units as shown in example For each item, write three observations- one qualitative and one quantitative. Under the chart, make a list: How they are similar: How they are different: THE CUBES The cubes are similar in: and different in: VOLUME: Regular shaped solid FORMULA: Volume = L x W x H = __ cm x __ cm x __ cm = 40 41

Science Notebook Layout DON’T COPY UNDERLINED TEXTMrs. Aguirre’s Webpage:http://www.quia.com/profiles/caguirre Density of Solids 11/9/11 Densitydescribes how much mass is in a given volume of a material. Mass is measured by a scale in grams. Volume can be measured by 2 techniques: A) Volume formula (l * w * h) Or B) displacement. Describe the objects- color, etc Measure Mass with scale in grams. Use the displacement method to find the volume in mL. Graph your data on graph paper. Draw trend line. Calculate the item’s density in g/mL.*** (slope of line- average) Use the chart to try to identify what the item is. Copy this under the charts. Use 6 lines Density calculations: 1. Density = Mass/Volume = ___g/ ___mL = ____g/mL We think the ________ object is : _____ (describe it) because… (use the chart to try to identify the solids) Copy graph on next page- tape it into your notebook 42 43

My job: skip 2 lines Plan:Group decides how to solve the problem using your knowledge of density. PLAN must: - be specific (HOW will you measure) be accurate (how will you prove if the pennies are copper) Data: Include graduated cylinder drawingsrecord all data needed Data MUST include- pictures to show how data was obtained and ALL measurements made and information collected DO NOT INCLUDE DENSITY CALCULATIONS HERE • Copper Density Analysis • Calculations: MUST include: • Show all math in calculating • Comparisons to show if pennies are • made of copper • List formulas and make calculations for density of • Pennies • Copper (see NB 40) • Analysis:In a paragraph, give a logical answer to the problem: “Are the pennies copper?”. Include your reasons and all quantitative data to support your analysis. Use your density of copper from NB pg 40 to solve the problem • Must include: • - Are the pennies copper? • - Supporting evidence • - Recommendations for what King Bling should do. 47 46
