Q&A

What is the purpose of this experiment?

The purpose is to explore the properties of different items and observe their behavior in water, specifically to determine if they sink or float.

What does it mean if an item sinks?

If an item sinks, it means that it is denser than the water and displaces less water than its own weight.

What does it mean if an item floats?

If an item floats, it means that it is less dense than the water and displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight.

Why do some items sink while others float?

The sinking or floating of an item depends on its density. If the item is denser than the water, it sinks. If it is less dense, it floats.

What are some examples of items that float?

Some examples of items that float are toys, snacks, and buoyant objects made of materials like foam or plastic.
