Description: This paper, presented at the 2001 Physics Education Research Conference, shares the results of a density assessment administered to 787 middle school, high school, and college students; which indicate that students harbor numerous alternate conceptions, particularly a tendency to associate mass, volume, and density with size. Many student responses show a consistent pattern of associating each of the quantities mass, volume, and density with size. Authors state that these responses can be interpreted as illustrating an inability to distinguish between these related concepts.
