In this PhET inquiry-based activity, students use their knowledge of density to design experiments and draw conclusions. Students measure the volume of an object, explain how objects have different volume and mass, and identify unknown materials by calculating densities. It is advisable to use the sim once students have completed hands-on accuracy lab. The accompanying simulation can be found here: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/density
