Plastic Blocks and wooden blocks

Question 1

How did you determine the volumes of the blocks?

Answer 1

How were the volumes of the blocks calculated? We used rulers to measure the length, width, and height of each block. Then, we multiplied these measurements together to find the volume in cubic centimetres.

Question 2

How do you find the mass of the blocks?

Answer 2

We used a scale

Question 3

If you divide the mass by volume what do you get?

Answer 3

Dencity

Question 4

What were the end results of the experiment comparing the densities of plastic and wooden blocks?

Answer 4

Our results showed that all the plastic blocks had densities that were essentially the same, and we saw the same results with the wooden blocks.

Question 5

What concept does this lab reinforce regarding density and its relationship to substance characteristics?

Answer 5

This lab reinforces the fact that density is a characteristic property of a substance
