Predict the densities, differences in densities, or changes in densities under different conditions for natural phenomena and design an investigation to verify the prediction.
What is the density of ocean water in kg/m^3, if the average sea-water salinity is 34.7 ppt?
Select from experimental data the information necessary to determine the density of an object and/or compare densities of several objects.
Lab: Density
Determine the density of mineral core samples using water displacement and determine percent iron content.
The core samples in this kit may contain iron (as the minerals magnetite, hematite, and limonite), as well as other non-ore minerals (like quartz, feldspar, gneiss, limestone & schist), which come from the rock in which the ore body was found. The drill core samples in this kit are from Virginia and North Carolina.
