## Multiple Choice Quiz / Assessment: Density Concepts for 7th Graders 1. What is the definition of density? * The amount of space an object takes up * **The amount of mass in a given volume** * The speed at which an object falls * The temperature at which a substance melts 2. Which formula is used to calculate density? * Density = Mass × Volume * Density = Volume / Mass * Density = Volume * **Density = Mass / Volume** 3. If an object has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 50 cm³, what is its density? * 4 g/cm³ * 2 g/cm³ * 0.25 g/cm³ * 10 g/cm³ 4. Which of the following substances is likely to float on water? * Iron * Gold * **Oil** * Silver 5. What happens to the density of a substance if its mass remains constant but its volume increases? * The density increases * **The density decreases** * The density remains the same * The density doubles 6. Which is denser: a cube of wood or a cube of steel of the same size? * Wood * **Steel** * They have the same density * It depends on the temperature 7. If two objects have the same volume but different masses, which one is denser? * **The one with the larger mass** * The one with the smaller mass * They have the same density * Density cannot be determined 8. How does temperature generally affect the density of a liquid? * Density increases with temperature * **Density decreases with temperature** * Temperature has no effect on density * Density becomes zero at high temperatures 9. Why do icebergs float in the ocean? * **Icebergs are less dense than sea water** * Icebergs are more dense than sea water * Icebergs have the same density as seawater * Icebergs are made of air 10.
