Calculating Density Song (Shut Up and Dance Parody)

I wrote this song to help my students learn and remember how to calculate density from the measurements of mass and volume.

"Calculating Density"

I want to know right now
Will it sink or float
She said “it’s easy to know”
By calculating density
Mass over volume is its density
Work it out
Calculating Density

You first figure out the mass
Put the object on the balance tray
SI unit is the gram
Use the balance for the measure
Balance for the measure

I measured mass
Oh yeah I used a balance
I used the unit grams

I want to know right now
Will it sink or float
She said “it’s easy to know”
By calculating density
Mass over volume is its density
Work it out
Calculating Density

Measuring the volume
Using water overflow
Milliliter or C-m cubed
Use the graduate for the measure
Graduate for the measure

I got volume
Oh I used a graduate
Centimeters cubed

I want to know right now
Will it sink or float
She said “it’s easy to know”
By calculating density
Mass over volume is its density
Work it out
Calculating Density

Now, will it sink?

When the density
That you calculated
Is less than one
Then it floats in water

If the density
That you calculated
Is more than one – it sinks!

I want to know right now
Will it sink or float
She said “it’s easy to know”
By calculating density
Mass over volume is its density
Work it out
Calculate!

I want to know right now
Will it sink or float
She said “it’s easy to know”
By calculating density
Mass over volume is its density
Work it out
