Discusses the concept of specific gravity and illustrates procedures for finding the specific gravity of a substance. Moves from the simple comparison method to the displacement method, and introduces Archimedes' principle of buoyancy as a more direct method of finding specific gravity. Shows the construction and use of a hydrometer as an important application of Archimedes' principle.
