AQA GCSE Physics: Required Practical - Density

This deck covers the AQA GCSE Physics Required Practical on density. You will learn the methods for determining the density of regular solids, irregular solids, and liquids, including the apparatus used, key measurements, and the final calculation. We'll also cover common sources of error and how to improve the accuracy of your results.

A dramatic, close-up photograph of a small, irregular stone being carefully lowered into a displacement can, filled to the brim with water, with water just beginning to overflow and trickle into a measuring cylinder placed underneath. The scene is set on a dark, reflective surface with strong, focused lighting highlighting the transparency of the water and the texture of the stone, composed for a wide, horizontal frame.

Lesson#1
In this deck, you will learn about the required practical for determining density. Density is a fundamental property of matter that tells us how much 'stuff' or mass is packed into a certain volume. We'll cover the methods for finding the density of three different types of things: regular solid objects, irregular solid objects, and liquids. We'll also look at common sources of error and how to make your measurements more accurate.
Lesson#2
To calculate density, you need to know two things about an object: its mass and its volume. The formula is density equals mass divided by volume. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms. Volume is the amount of space it takes up, often measured in centimetres cubed or metres cubed.
Quiz#3
What is the equation used to calculate density?

mass divided by volume

Quiz#4
In GCSE Physics, what is the standard S I unit for density?

kilograms per metre cubed

Quiz#5
In school science practicals, what is a common unit for density?

grams per centimetre cubed

Quiz#6
To find the density of any object, what two quantities must you first measure?

mass and volume
