<p>Name ______Block ______</p><p>Density Virtual Lab 1) Complete the first two columns using the Density Laboratory Gizmo on ExploreLearning.com. You can find the mass by placing the object on the scale. Then find the volume using the water displacement once you drop it in the graduated cylinder. 2) Find the mass and volume of the objects. Calculate the density of the objects (mass divided by volume). 3) Write "YES" if the object floats, and "NO" if the object sinks. 4) Rank: Number the objects from lowest density (1) to highest density (10).</p><p>Description Mass Volume Density (g/mL) Float?

If so which one(s)? ______5) Which object has the greatest mass? ______the least? ______6) Did the objects in #5 float? If so which one(s)? ______7) Which object has the greatest density?______the least? ______8) Did the objects in #7 float? If so which one(s)? ______Part 2: Procedure: 1) Copy the object’s density from the previous side of this worksheet into the chart. 2) Change the density of the liquid from 1.0 g/cc to 0.5 g/cc by moving the arrow under the “pale of liquid”. Drop your object to see if it floats. Then change the density to 1.5 g/cc, to 2.0 g/cc, and then to 2.7 g/cc recording your results below. 3) Repeat step 2 for each object</p><p>Fluid Density 0.5 g/cc 1.5 g/cc 2.0 g/cc 2.7 g/cc </p><p>Description Object Density Float?
