What do the sinking objects have in common, what are they?
There are materials and honey.There is water.There is oil.There are 5 small objects of the same size such as a coin, bean, plastic toy, cork, paperclip, and screw.A narrow tube or clear glass.There is a paper.A pencil.
Why do objects sink in water?The denser the objects are, the more dense they are.Some things float and some sink because of density.Some objects are more dense than others.Your body moves the water.
The density of an object is what determines whether it will float or sink.If the liquid is less dense than the object, it will float.If the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink.
Water is equal to its volume.If the water is more than the weight of the object, it floats.When the water is less than the object, it sinks.
