Density

The purpose of this lab was to investigate and determine the mass, the amount of matter in an object, the volume, the amount of space an object occupies and calculate the density or the mass per unit volume of a material. If two of the materials, water and alcohol are compared then alcohol will have the higher density. If the regular shaped object densities are compared then corean will have the higher density. If the …

…calculation could have been of by a little because of spilt water in the water measuring part and not being as precise in my measurements with the ruler. I also learned many things in the lab investigation like how to use a triple-beam balance and how to calculate volume and density. I also learned how to correctly make a hypothesis. It was a very educating lab because I learned why certain things rise above water.
