Matter Calculations: Volume and Density (harder version)
In this more challenging version of the Matter and Density worksheet students distinguish between mass and weight, chemical and physical changes, density, and volume. They are then presented with different objects, weigh them, calculate their volumes, and determine their densities. They use their calculations to predict whether the objects will float in water. Given densities, students also fill in a density column.
