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

the mass of 1 cm3 or 1 m3

Explain the pressure due to a

solid.

Discuss appropriate examples

of experience of pressure

such as walking on snow,

mud, dry sand.

Students explain why knives

and drawing pins are effective

but only if used the right way

round.

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.
