Density is a relationship of mass/volume. The more mass an object (compared to its volume) has the higher its density is going to be. The more volume an object has (compared to is mass) the lower its density is going to be.
We tested the density of liquids in class. We have learned that the density of water is 1 g/mL.
From trials in labs, we have figured out that we need to isolate aspects when figuring out density. For example, when figuring out the density of a liquid, we have to subtract the mass of the cylinder away from the mass of the liquid and the cylinder to figure out what the liquid's mass is.
We also explored density through displacement of solids. Through this, we figure out the volume of a solid object by putting the object into a measured amount of water, then subtracting the starting height from the height of the water that is displaced.
