1. Find the mass of the ____________ object YOUR TURN!

2. Find the __________ of the object by using Step 1: Find the digital scale and determine the mass of your
Volume = length x width x height textbook.
3. Divide mass by volume
Density = mass/volume Step 2: Determine the volume of the ScienceSaurus Textbook
using l x w x h.
D= ?

without the object by the volume of liquid Volume: _______
with the object.
3. Divide mass by volume
• Density = mass/volume

Your Turn! Step 4: Subtract the final reading minus the initial reading.
Step 1: Using the triple-beam balance, determine Difference (volume): _______
