Question

density: odd one out worksheet
name: fred walters date: 09/11/2025 hour: 3
directions: analyze each part of the circle. one of the parts will be different than the others. shade the part of the circle that does not match. using a complete sentence, explain how that part is different from the others. answers must be science - related and should show your understanding of density.
example: history is the odd one out because it is not a type of science like the others.

1. the mass of a material in a given volume, mass divided by volume, the amount of matter in an object, the amount of stuff in a certain amount of space
2. cubic centimeters, g/cm³, g/ml, kg/m³
3. 0.1 g/ml, floats in water, 0.98 g/cm³, 1.7 g/cm³
4. the amount of matter in an object, the amount of space an object takes up, the mass of a material in a given volume, a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object
5. a high density, floats in water, a large mass in a small amount of volume, 11 g/cm³
6. an object’s mass is 20g and its volume is 5cm³, an object’s mass is 2g and its volume is 8ml, 0.45 g/cm³, an object’s mass is 20kg and its volume is 40m³

Explanation:

1.

Step1: Identify the concepts

The first three parts define density in different ways (mass - volume relationship), while "The amount of matter in an object" is mass, not density.

Step2: Determine the odd - one - out

The odd - one - out is "The amount of matter in an object" as it is not a definition of density like the others.

Step1: Analyze the units

The first three are units of density ($g/cm^{3}$, $g/mL$, $kg/m^{3}$), while "Cubic centimeters" is a unit of volume.

Step2: Find the odd - one - out

The odd - one - out is "Cubic centimeters" since it is not a unit of density.

Step1: Look at the density values and the description

The first three are density values ($0.1 g/mL$, $0.98 g/cm^{3}$, $1.7 g/cm^{3}$), while "Floats in water" is a property related to density but not a density value.

Step2: Determine the odd - one - out

The odd - one - out is "Floats in water".

Answer:

The amount of matter in an object
