of water the sample of wood would weigh less than the sample of water. This means that wood is less dense than water. Since wood is less dense than water, wood floats in water, no matter how big or ...

Students will also be able to explain that if a liquid is more dense than water, it will sink when added to water, and if it is less dense than water, it will float. A liquid, just like a solid, has ...

An object or a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid beneath it. Ice floats on top of water because the density of ice (0.9 g/cm 3) is less than the density of water (1.0 g/cm 3 ...

Convection currents in the model are driven by the less dense hot water rising and the more dense cold water ... have groups explain what is going on using the terms “more dense than” and “less dense ...
