Topic 5: Phet Interactive Density

Click the orange circle above to open the lesson. Learning Goals:

• Explain how objects of similar mass can have differing volume, and how objects of similar volume can have differing mass.
• Explain why changing an object's mass or volume does not affect its density (ie, understand density as an intensive property).
