3 Determine densities of
solids 1
Determine the density of a
regular solid. Pupils must
appreciate that they need
to know the mass and the
volume of an object to
calculate the density.
If pupils are not completely
happy with the concept of
volume it is helpful if solids
can be ‘matched’ by blocks
of 1 centimetre cubes.
The mass of the solids can then be found. Students investigate the density of different sized blocks of material.
Weighing balance, ruler /measuring tape, selection of solids of different materials but of similar size and shape e.g. cubes of one centimetre side.
Explain that materials can
only be compared if they
have equal volumes so

Students can investigate
pressure by pressing objects
into plasticine, provided they
are pressed with equal forces,
shows that the smaller the
area of contact the greater the
pressure.
Different objects, plasticine / modelling clay.

8
Determine Densities of Liquid
Select ideas and produce
plans for testing based
upon previous knowledge,
understanding and
research.
Decide which
measurements and
observations are necessary
and what equipment to use.
Make observations and
measurements.
Draw conclusions.
Pupils discuss ways of finding
the density of a liquid and
then find the density of water,
salt water and other non-
hazardous liquids.

Determine Densities of
Liquid
Explain pressures in gases
and liquids (qualitative
only).
Explain results using
scientific knowledge and
understanding.
Communicate this clearly to
others.
Demonstrate pressure in a
gas.
A container of at least three
litres is connected to a
vacuum or suction pump and
compressed by the pressure
of the atmosphere.
Alternatively a heat-proof
container containing a little
water, can be heated and then
have the top screwed on
tightly causing the same effect
as it cools.
Blowing up balloons or tyres
or heating tins with a lid on
causes an increase of
pressure which pupils should
explain using a particle model.
Flexible container e.g.
plastic bottle, vacuum or
suction pump, balloons,
tin with lid as suggested.
Air pressure is
relatively large so
good
demonstrations
are possible.
For either method
safety screens
and safety
goggles should be
used.
