What I learned from the simulation is that density can vary on the volume of the object. To find the density of an object, the formula is mass divided volume equals density. I learned that if two blocks have the same density, but one is smaller and one is bigger, the smaller one will sink and the bigger one will float. The smaller one will sink because it has a smaller volume, causing the particles to be packed tightly together. The bigger block has a bigger volume, allowing the particles to move more freely, making the block less dense.
I really like how you explained your point on why they would float or sink. Overall I like all of the explaining you do. It makes it really clear if someone would not know what density meant or what volume and mass meant.
