Short explanation

Required practical activity 5: use appropriate apparatus to make and record measurements needed to determine densities of regular solid objects. Graph lens: Read the trend, flat section, gradient, or axis labels before explaining the physical meaning. In Density of materials, this means the particle model explains the observable property using particles. The answer should use the approved wording from Changes of state and the particle model, include regular solid, and avoid drifting into another section of Particle model of matter. For revision, practise saying the exact objective aloud, then add the one calculation, particle movement, collision, graph, or practical detail that makes the statement true. A strong exam response for checkpoint 8 is specific to required practical activity 5: use appropriate apparatus to make and record measurements needed to determine densities of regular solid objects and does not reuse a generic explanation from a neighbouring objective.
