Linearity and Density

Activity Overview

Students will perform an activity to determine the density of a metal from a graph of mass versus volume

Before the Activity

students should know how to calculate the slope of a line

During the Activity

instructions are in the associated word document

After the Activity

Review student answers:

  • As a class, discuss questions that appeared to be more challenging
  • Re-teach concepts as necessary
