Density
Use the following to help you with the Narrative Procedure.

1. Use the ruler to determine the volume of the cube. Write your answer to the nearest tenth (0.1cm
3) and use the correct units. Set your answer this way:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = _______________ x ______________ x _______________
Volume = ___________________

2. To determine the mass of the cube using the triple beam balance. Write your answer to the nearest tenth (0.1g) and use the correct units. Write your answer this way:
Mass = _______________________

3. Determine the density of your cube. Write your answer to the nearest tenth (0.1 g/cm
3) and use the correct units. Set up your answer this way:
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = ______________________

4. Based on what you know about density, will this cube float or sink? Explain how you know.
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________

5. Based on what you know about density; what would happen to the density if the cube is cut in half?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

6. Based on the density draw and label where the cube would be in a cup of water.
