Everything is made of matter and has a mass. If everything has a mass it has a volume. In today's lab students used these physical properties and began to explore density. Using brown sugar, students experimented with how and if density affected mass and volume. We were able to dispel several "myths" students had. For example, simply because an object takes up a small amount of space does not mean the mass is also small. Likewise, if an object takes up a large amount of space it may not have a large mass. It depends on the density.....which depends on the mass....which depends on the volume. OH MY!!!
