Lesson 4.5

Density

Learning Intention

We are learning about the variables of density

Why? To better understand why particles in matter behave they way they do.

Success Criteria

I am successful when I can..

- describe density on my one words.

- relate density to an object’s ability to sink or float

- describe how the arrangement of particles affect the density in an object.

What gives an object their mass?

1. The atoms that make up the object
2. The amount of weight the object has
3. The volume of the object
4. The size of the object
