In this activity your team will solve a mystery by using a property of matter, density, to identify which of 5 crowns is the one made of pure gold.


Density is a property of matter which allows us to identify the substance that makes up that matter. The density of an object can be calculated by dividing the mass (g) of a substance by its volume (cm3). [ D=m/v ]

The density of a particular kind of matter is a specific property that helps identify it. By referring to a density chart, a person can determine the identity of a substance.
