Density Lab

So after finishing simple machines we move on to properties of matter. We just finished talking about density and why things sink or float in liquids. I thought it would be fun to have the students preform a lab were they calculate the density of objects to determine if they think they will sink or float in water. To find out if they are correct they will put the objects in water. I plan on having this lab ready and completed before winter break. I just have to gather all the materials.
