Do 1. Label the most dense substance as gold and color it yellow.
2. Label the least dense substance as wood and color it brown. These cubes are the same size. How
3. Label the substance that has a density of 1 g/cm3 as water and color it blue. can they have different masses?
4. The second most dense substance is iron. Label it and color it dark gray.
5. Find the substance which has a density just slightly less than water.
Label this as ice and leave it white.
6. The remaining substance is aluminum. Label it and color it light gray.

5 Facts About Density Clip: https://bit.ly/2ykmGpK a pure object not change
: if it is cut in half?
Why does the regular cola
sink while the diet cola floats?
regular cola the sugar adds more
atoms which makes them sink
What is the relationship between the
density of an object and whether it
sinks or floats in water?

density gets higher the more it sinks.

How does the hot air balloon
rise up into the sky?
Why does ice float in a glass of water
the hot air in the hot air ballon when ice is made of water too?
make the ballon expand
density is low therefore it floats
