demonstrated the ability to

1. write a simple definition for the word 'density'

2. collect objects from a given selection and sort them into groups of regular shaped and irregularly shaped objects

3. measure and record in a table the length, width and height of at least two regular shaped objects and use these measurements to calculate the volume of each object

4. use a balance to determine and record in a table the mass of each object

5. use the volume and mass to calculate the density of each object

6. use research to write a set of method steps to calculate the volume of irregularly shaped objects

7. carry out the method steps written to measure and record the volume of at least two irregularly shaped objects

8. use a balance to determine and record in a table the mass of each object

9. use the volume and mass to calculate the density of each irregularly shaped object

10. describe and explain any relationship observed between the size of an object and the density value calculated.
