Density

Density is figured by when mass is divided by volume. In simulation it showed us that if an item's density is lower than waters density it will float. If the item ways more than waters density it will always sink. 

It doesn't matter how much it weighs or how big or small it is. I will always float if it has less density than water.  Mass/Volume=Density

Density Simulation

To figure out the Density you will have to take (Mass Divided by Volume = Density.) Density often has the units of grams per a cubic centimeter. Remember the grams is the mass and a cubic centimeters as a volume. When you have density it doesn’t really matter the mass, but volume is when your just looking at it. Volume really matters because when you have the right length and everything else to make your object float.

If two cubes have the same mass, and their volumes are different, and that means their density’s different also. So, if one cube has the same mass as another cube, but the other cube has a bigger volume, the one with the bigger volume will float and the one with the least amount of volume will sink. 

If two cubes have the same volume, but different masses, the density’s are different also. So it depends on how much mass are in each cube. If one cube has 6kg of mass and the other has 2kg, the 6kg cube would sink, because of the mass. The 2kg cube would float. 

If the cubes had the same density, then they all would float. The formula for density is mass divided by volume. In order for the cubes to float, their density has to be less than the density of the water.

Density is figured by when mass is divided by volume. In the simulation it showed us that if an item's density is lower than waters density than it will float. If an items density is more than the waters density than it will sink. It doesn't matter how much it weigh or how big or small it is if there is less density than the amount in the water than it will float in the water. M/V=D

    In the density simulation, I saw that the bigger blocks don’t always sink to the bottom like a rock. Sometimes the smaller blocks were the ones that sunk like rock but other times they floated too. This reminds me about an experiment I did in 6^th grade. Everyone brought a can of pop and we put them in a tub of water one at a time. Though all the cans were the same size, the density of the pop in the can and the amount of pop in each can was each different. Over all, the larger the volume doesn’t mean it will float.

         I experimented on the density simulation game. What I learned from playing the density simulations is that mass is divided volume equals density. And also they can have the same volume but some can have more density on them.  

Density Simulation

To find the density for something you got to take it's mass divided by it's volume.  I learned on the simulation that on some things the more volume you got and the less mass more than likely it's going to float.  If the mass and volume were equal it was probably going to sink depending on the material.  If the item's density passes the density of the water then it will sink no matter what.
