  1. Density

  2. What is Density • Density is a characteristic property of an object that describes the relationship between the object’s mass and volume • The formula to calculate density is: Density = Mass ÷ Volume

  3. M D V The Density Triangle of Science • To remember the formula for density use the density triangle:

  4. M D V • This line represents ÷ • This line represents x

  5. M D V Using the Density Triangle to Find … • To find density: • You need mass and volume • Write your formula starting with what you are looking for: D = • Now read your triangle: D = M÷ V

  6. M D V Using the Density Triangle to Find … • To find Mass: • You need density and volume • Write your formula starting with what you are looking for: M = • Now read your triangle: M = Dx V

  7. M D V Using the Density Triangle to Find … • To find Volume: • You need density and mass • Write your formula starting with what you are looking for: V = • Now read your triangle: V = M÷ D

  8. M D V Complete the Formula • D = . V • M = _________ • _______ = M V • ______ ÷ V = D

  9. Units for Density • The units depend on the units for the mass and volume • Example: Mass = grams, Volume = Litres Density = grams ÷ litres = g/L

  10. Density How-To • ***Density of Water = 1g/ml***
