Density Practice
Read the density scenarios below. Draw the object
in the box along with the molecules to demonstrate
density. Label the drawing with more and less
dense.
A ball has a mass of 74g and volume of 800 mL,
Will the ball sink or float?

A box has a mass of 40g and a volume of 30 mL.


Will the box sink or float?

A balloon has a mass of 18g and a volume of


30mL. Will it rise or sink?

In a science experiment, the same amount of 4


liquids is poured into a glass. Liquid A has a mass
of 30g, liquid B has a mass of 20g, liquid C has a
mass of 25g, and liquid D has a mass of 10g. Using
the space below, label the layers as they would
form in the experiment.

Density Assessment
Read the density scenarios below. Draw the object
in the box along with the molecules to demonstrate
density. Label the drawing with more and less
dense.
A coke can lands in the water. If the mass of the
can is 150g and its volume is 125mL, will it sink or
float?

A book is dropped into the ocean. If it has a mass


of 75g and a volume of 30mL, will it sink or float?

A rock is dropped in a pool. The rock has a mass of


80g and a volume of 100mL. Does the rock sink or
float?

Look at the chart below. Fill in the box for sink/float


according to the mass and volume of the objects
listed. For the last items, write a volume that would
allow the object to sink or float accordingly.

Density Notes- KEY
More mass will sink,
Less mass will rise.
Compared to the volume,
Just check with your eyes!
When an object is more dense than its
surroundings, the molecules in the object are
closer together.
When an object is less dense than its surroundings,
the molecules in the object are further apart.
