Density of Liquids

Put the liquids in order from most dense to least dense?

• 4, 3, 2, 1

• 1, 2, 3, 4

• 3, 4, 2, 1, 

• 4, 3, 1, 2

Why do the liquids form different layers?

• They have different densities.  

• They have different masses.  

• They have different volumes.  

• They are different temperatures.

If you poured 3 liquids that do not mix how could you tell which one is the most dense?

• The liquid on top

• The liquid in the middle

• The liquid at the bottom

Look at this image.  Which object has the LOWEST density in water? How? 

• The Ping Pong Ball because it floats to the top 

• The bolt because it has sunk to the bottom

• The soda cap because it is not just full of air like the Ping Pong ball

What two types of measurements make up DENSITY? 

• Mass and Volume

• Temperature and Mass

• Grams and Centimeters

• Volume and Weight

Put the liquids in order from most dense to least dense?

• 4, 3, 2, 1

• 1, 2, 3, 4

• 3, 4, 2, 1, 

• 4, 3, 1, 2

• Less dense than the liquid

• Lighter than metal

•  Shaped like a ball
