So which is heavier? A pound of feathers or a pound of lead?
What a crazy class today! But I hope you can be comfortable with the temporary confusion--it will lead to understanding and order very soon, probably. I had some technical difficulties with my computer equipment, which didn't help, and I am recovering from my son's wedding. But also, this is a subject that is best learned through testing and trial and hands-on experience. Keep your head in the game, focus on the subject, and really, really, really listen to instructions. If I say make a data table, then make a data table before you do the lab work, so you can record as you go. Most of you should make bigger tables with more room to write in.
Mass - how much stuff
Volume - how much space the stuff takes up
Density - how much stuff is in how much space
Is is tightly packed together? Is it fluffy like a pillow? These are questions of density.
