Question 4
Work in pairs to calculate the density of five different objects.
1. Collect five different objects, such as a pencil, an eraser, a ruler, a glass and a stone.
2. Predict which object will have the highest density and which will have the lowest.
3. Weigh each object to find its mass using an electronic balance. Record the results in the table.
4. Find the volume of each object using a suitable method. Record the results in the table.
5. Calculate the density of each object. Record the results in the table.
| Object | Mass in g | Volume in cm³ | Density in g/cm³ |
