Daily Objective:

Students will critically think and use problem solving skills on questions involving density.

Bellwork:

An object is known to have a density of 3.85 g/mL. A graduated cylinder is filled with water to a volume of 22.6 mL. The object is placed in the graduated cylinder and the volume in the graduated cylinder is measured to be 29.4 mL. What is the mass of the object?

Thursday - September 11th, 2025

Daily Objective:

Students will analyze data to determine the density of metal samples.

Bellwork:

If an object has a lot of matter packed in to a very small space, what would that mean about the object's density? Explain your answer.

Solve the following problem:

The density of an object is measured to be 0.115 kg/mL. If the mass of the object is measured to be 45.8 g, what is the object's volume (in mL)?
