The density of gold is much higher compared to many other metals.
What is the density of gold if the volume is 3 cubic centimeters (cm³⁾and it has a mass of 57.96 grams?
D=m/v
D=57.96g/3cm³
D=19.32g/cm³

Fun Fact! The reason we are able to have life on the earth is owed to the fact that ice is less dense than water. Ice, like glaciers and land forms, reflect radiation from he sun back into outer space, regulating climate so we do not suffer from extreme heat issues. if ice were to be more dense than water and sink to the bottom of the ocean, the sun's radiation would stay trapped in our atmosphere. The climate would reach to a point where life nor marine life would survive.]]> 2017-03-22 18:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/clrogerson0424/densityscience/wish/161941594 https://padlet.com/clrogerson0424/densityscience/wish/162263449 Ryan Campos

Liquids have their own densities depending on the mass of the molecules that make up a liquid and how tightly they are packed together. Oil is less dense than water because is is made from carbon and hydrogen, carbon being lighter than oxygen.

Everything around us has density; liquids, solids, even you! This is the reason why density is so relevant to our lives because every object has it. The density of an object will remain the same if the temperature and pressure don't change.  This makes density a useful physical property for indentifying a substance.]]> 2017-03-24 18:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/clrogerson0424/densityscience/wish/162495037 clrogerson0424 https://padlet.com/clrogerson0424/densityscience/wish/162495416 The reasoning behind why objects sink or float is all related to density. Every object on our earth have their own individual densities, which means some objects are going to be lighter or heavier than others. For example, if you were to put a nail in water, the nail would sink. The reason the nail would sink to the bottom and not float to the top is caused by the nail having a heavier density than the water. ]]> 2017-03-24 18:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/clrogerson0424/densityscience/wish/162495416 jpmoyer0223 https://padlet.com/clrogerson0424/densityscience/wish/162496670 Subduction is when one tectonic plate goes underneath another. It occurs when two tectonic plates push against each other and the denser one goes underneath. This forms mountain ranges.]]> 2017-03-24 18:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/clrogerson0424/densityscience/wish/162496670
