In Science class we are learning about density.
To experiment with density we found the
mass and volume of a bunch of different objects then divided that to find
out what the actual density of the object is.
The formula to find the density is mass divided
by volume. After figuring this all out we learned that
you can find out how an object sinks or floats
by looking at the density. The lower the number is
that the density is, the more its likely it is to float instead of
sink. The higher the number though, the more likely
it sinks when placed in water or other liquids.
If the objects are the same size and one floats and one
sinks that means that one has more molecules in
it.. are more dense. More compacted than the other
object thats floating.
