If the material is pure and homogeneous, i.e. "the same throughout", then the density is
independent of the size of the sample. A chip the size of a pinhead and a chunk the size of
a truck have the same density.
is the density of a small piece of matter the same as a large piece of the same matter?
Density is an intrinsic property, not an extensive property of matter. This is because it DOES NOT depend on the size of the sample (amount). The density of a small piece of matter is the same as the density of a larger piece of that same matter.
All intrinsic properties will be the same regardless of sample size. Some examples would be density, color, temperature, chemical reactivity, etc.
A piece of jewelry can range from a small earring to a large necklace. In that case, there can also be varying number of moles of silver atoms in a piece of jewelry. Plus, not all jewelry contain silver in them. Thus, there is no specific answer to this question
Yes, there was. A big piece was changed into a number of small pieces.

density has nothing to do with the size of an object in the way that you are thinking, density is the mass or weight of an object per unit of measurement Neither
Density refers to the mass of a material in a given volume (same volume for all materials)
Density refers to the mass of a material in a given volume (same volume for all materials)
The same.

Any sample of the same substance has the same density,no matter how large or small the sample is.
The larger piece will probably have more mass than the smaller one. But if the wood is of the same type and "all things are equal" as regards moisture content, sap content, etc., the density of both pieces of wood will be the same. Density does not depend on the size of a sample. Density is mass per unit of volume. If a large gold nugget and a small gold nugget are compared, the larger nugget will have more mass, but both nuggets will have the same density.
becasue the alluminum is denser than the copper.
When you have a piece of a substance, its mass and volume have to be measured.After you've done that, you can calculate the density ... it's (mass) divided by (volume).It doesn't matter whether the sample you have is large or small. The densitywill be the same.
"Wood" may not be uniform and homogeneous ... there may be knots, voids, rough grain, etc. So it's a poor choice of material to illustrate the important principle here. The principle is: Provided the sample is homogeneous, like plastic or a refined metal, every piece of it, no matter how large or small, has the same density. Density is a property of the substance, without any reference to the shape or size of the sample. If the block is cut into pieces, no matter how many, and no matter whether they're the same size or different sizes, every piece should have the same density as the aggregate block had before it was cut.

"large density" ===> (relatively large mass) fits into (relatively small volume)
