- Define density as the mass of an object divided by its volume; remember and apply the formula m = ρ V.
- Explain the process for measuring the density of a liquid, a solid with a regular shape, and a solid with an irregular shape that sinks in a liquid (using volume displacement), including necessary calculations.
- Assess whether an object will float or sink based on its density compared to the density of the fluid it is in.
- Evaluate if one liquid will float on top of another liquid using density information, assuming the liquids do not mix.
