Density Investigation Quiz

What is the first step before adding the solid to the balance?

• Record the name of the solid

• Zero the balance

• Fill the displacement can with water

• Measure the volume of the solid

What should you do if the solid floats in the water?

• Add more water

• Weigh the solid again

• Remove the solid

• Carefully push it under the water
