Title: Density
Purpose: To measure the density of some liquids and solids which includes some materials of
biological interest.
Procedure:
1. Dispense 10mL of water using a 10mL pipet into beaker on zeroed scale
2. Use scale to measure mass of water
3. Calculate density
4. Add 5mL of water to beaker using a 5mL pipet
5. Use scale to measure mass of water
6. Calculate Density
7. Add 10mL of water to beaker using a 10mL pipet
8. Use scale to measure mass of water
9. Calculate Density
Density of cow bone
10. Zero scale with 40mL of water in graduated cylinder
11. Place cow bone in graduated cylinder
12. Record mass of bone
13. Record change in volume in graduated cylinder
Density of suet
14. Use scale to measure mass of suet
15. Calculate density
Density of chicken breast
16. Use test tube and squish chicken breast down to exclude air in order to measure volume
17. Use scale to measure mass
18. Calculate density
Nylon
19. Calculate the volume of nylon using geometry and using a ruler to measure sides
20. Use scale to measure mass
21. Calculate the volume of nylon using a graduated cylinder and displacement
22. Calculate for density
Walnut wood
23. Calculate the volume of the walnut cylinder by using the ruler to measure the diameter,
height.
24. Use scale to measure mass
25. Calculate the volume of walnut wood using graduated cylinder and displacement - use
pencil to push walnut wood under the water since it floats.
