Question 6
Work in small groups to investigate the density of modelling clay. Aim: to investigate whether the density of modelling clay changes as its mass changes. Materials: a pack of modelling clay.
Select two points on your graph representing different mass values. Use these points to predict the volumes of two corresponding modelling clay samples. Then, experimentally measure the volumes of these samples and compare the predicted and measured values. Record your results in the table below.
| Sample | Mass in g | Predicted volume from graph, V₃ in cm³ | Volume from measurement, V₄ in cm³ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | | | |
| 2 | | | |
