| Density is the measure of how much _____ is contained in a given volume. | mass |
| Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given _____. | volume |
| Ice (solid water) has a density of 0.92 g/cm3. Would it float or sink when placed in room-temperature liquid water? | float |
| TRUE or FALSE? To calculate the density of an object, you would divide its volume by its mass. | false |
| TRUE or FALSE? The particles in dense materials are packed together more compactly than the particles in a less dense substance. | true |
| The more _____ there is per unit of volume, the denser an object becomes. | mass |
