Section 2: Defining Density as a Relationship

This section introduces the concept of Relational Causality and helps students understand that density is defined by a relationship between mass and volume. It engages students in reasoning about the relationship between mass and volume. It is designed to address students' tendencies to focus on only one variable in a relationship, and to use simple linear reasoning in thinking about outcomes.
