1. Measure the *mass* of the object on a balance. Record the mass in *grams*.

2. Fill a graduated cylinder with water and record the *volume* of water in *milliliters*.

3. Carefully lower the object into the graduated cylinder but ensure it does not sink to the bottom. Observe the new volume of water.

4. Calculate the *difference* between the initial and final volumes of water. This difference represents the *volume* of the object. Record the volume of the object in *milliliters*.

5. Calculate the density of the irregularly shaped object using the formula:

$$Density= \frac{Mass}{(Volume) }$$

Result:

The density of the irregularly shaped object is *g/mL*.
