Nutrition Density Essay After having calculated the nutrient density of seven food groups in a spreadsheet‚ the food group that came to have the highest Nutrient Density was the vegetable group obtaining an average of 7.76712 Nutrient Density. The food group that came to have the lowest Nutrient Density was the “junk food” group‚ having an average of 0.24845 Nutrient Density. One of the factors that contribute to foods having a high or low Nutrient Density is the amount of calories. I noticed that

Performed: July 10‚ 2013 Group No.: 4 Date Submitted: July 17‚ 2013 Experiment #1: Measurements INTRODUCTION Density is a physical property of matter‚ as each element and compound has a unique density associated with it. The unit of Density is g/cm3 or g/mL. It is used to measure thr relative “heaviness” of objects with a constant volume. As defined‚ the formula for Density is Mass over Volume (ρ=m/v) and it can be rearranged to get the Volume (v=m/ρ) or Mass (m=ρv) of a certain substance

Density (Linearized plot) TA: Blue Rex rex Group Members: Billy and Mandy Tuesday; 1200-1350 Abstract: In this lab the density of hand-made clay balls were calculated to understand how scientists model physical effects and to understand logarithmic plots. The hand-made balls ranged from diameters of 2cm to 6cm and were measured with vernier calipers by each member of the group. A total of 6 independent measures of each diameter were taken to establish uncertainty. The clay balls were then
