Last Friday we went online and experimented with different types of blocks and water. When put in water styrofoam floats on the top of the water, no matter what it’s mass or volume is. When wood was put into the water it floated at it’s smallest mass/volume, but as the volume/mass got bigger the bottom got deeper in the water. An ice block was put into the water and it floated just below the surface of the water, no matter what mass/volume it had. Brick always sinks to the bottom. Also, aluminum always sinks to the bottom. I have noticed that the bigger the volume the more the water level goes up, the smaller the volume, and the water goes down. Volume usually did not affect how much the block sunk or rised.
Scientific Definition :)
ReplyDeleteI like that you said the different materials that were used in the simulation because it gives a reader a better picture of what happened in the simulation.
