How do you use the “ladder” method?

1st – Determine your starting point.

2nd – Count the “jumps” to your ending point.

3rd – Move the decimal the same number of jumps in the same direction.

DENSITY

VolumeThe amount of space occupied by an object is called its volume.

• V = l x w x h • Water Displacement

• Final water level- initial water level= V

Mass-is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object

Density

• Density is the mass per unit volume of a material.

• You find density by dividing an object’s mass by the object’s volume.

• D= M/V
