Activity 5.4 Calculating Properties Solids
In Activity 5.4, learned about how to calculate the mass, weight, density, volume, and surface area of an object and how these factors relate to one another. After taking notes on this, we did an activity that put these principles to practice. In order to complete this activity we also used the principles learned in Activity 5.3.

Conclusion Questions
1. What is the difference between area and volume? The difference between area and volume is that area represents the amount of space taken up by two dimensional objects whereas volume represents the amount of space taken up by three dimensional objects.
2. What is density? Density is the measurement of how dense an object is based on its weight or mass divided by its volume or a measure of the amount of matter per unit of volume.
3. What is a “physical” property? Give examples of physical properties. A physical property is a property that can be observed and measured without changing the material of an object. Examples of physical properties are volume, surface area, mass, weight, color, odor, melting and boiling point, temperature, centroid, attraction to magnets, electric charge, moment of inertia, and viscosity.
