2 - Introduction Volume and Density

The document provides an overview of key concepts in Earth Science, including observations, inferences, classification systems, and the use of scientific instruments to measure mass and volume. It explains the principles of density, how it changes with temperature, and includes calculations for determining density. Additionally, it touches on phases of matter and examples of dynamic equilibrium and cyclic events in Earth science.

Intro to Earth Science

Notes: Pages 6 - 9
What is used to make an observation?
After observations have
been collected.
What does it mean to
make an inference?

make an educated guess


(an hypothesis)
Give examples of how scientists
use classification systems.
Give examples of how scientists
use classification systems.
Name the common scientific
instrument used to measure mass:

If an object is heated, what happens


to its mass? Why?
If an object has a mass of 240g on
Earth, its mass on the moon will be
(more, less, the same). Why?
Volume of a regular
rectangular object:
What instrument
would be used to
measure this
object’s volume?
What is the
formula for finding
the volume of this
object?
Calculate the volume of this object
to the nearest
tenth of a cubic centimeter.
Show all formulas.
VOLUME of an irregularly
shaped object:

What instrument
would be used to
measure the
volume of an
object such as a
rock? graduated cylinder
VOLUME of an irregularly
shaped object:
Describe the process you would use.

• Put water into cylinder


• measure volume of water
• place object in cylinder
• re-measure volume of water
• subtract volumes

When an object is heated, it

and the atoms become

packed. Therefore the object becomes

dense.

When an object is cooled, it

and the atoms become

dense.
Wwhat happens to the
density of an
object when it is split
into smaller
parts? why?
Wwhat is the formula
for density?
A rock has a mass of 240g and a
volume of 12cm³.

Showing all formulas and calculatio


determine the density of the rock.
The box below has a mass of 120g.
Showing all formulas and calculations,
determine the density of the box.

2.0 cm

If the empty container has a mass of 100g and
the filled container has a mass of 250g.
What is the density of the liquid inside?
Show all work below.

mass of liquid
250g – 100g = 150g

density of liquid
density = mass/volume
= 150g /100mL =
1.5 g/mL
Density of water:

Water is most dense at _______°C.

expands above
This is because water _______________
and below this temperature

Density of water:

The density of water


when it is most
dense is:
Density of water:

Any material with a density

Density of water example:

If an object has a mass of 25g and a volume of


50mL, will it sink or float in liquid water?
Phases of Matter & Density

During which phase of matter (solid,


liquid, or gas) are most materials:
Give a real life, earth science example of a
system that is in dynamic equilibrium.
