Density

 I switched the material to aluminum, it wouldn't float. I switched it to wood and it floated. I made the wood bigger and it still floated. I switched to ice and it floated even when it was big. I made it bricks and it didn't float even when it was small. Even if the volume is small it could still sink cause of the weight and density. 

Density Simulation

I already know that density is mass divided by volume, but I did not know that aluminum wouldn't float at all. In the density simulation, I learned that even if you change the mass and the volume of the aluminum, it won't float. Aluminum is to dense to float, even if the mass decreases and the volume increases. This was an interesting discovery for me because I always thought that aluminum would float, but it ended up sinking.

Density Simulation

To find density you have to take mass/volume. In the density simulation I found that if all of the blocks had the same mass the smaller the block would sink. If the block was more dense than the water it would sink to the bottom. So the bigger block would flout because the water is more dense

Density Simulation

In this simulation I learned that if there is a bigger volume and a low mass the block will most likely float. Also if there is a low volume and a big mass it will sink. But if you have a big volume it helps because it has a bigger area to cover so most likely it won't displace enough water to sink.

Density Simulation

I have learned many things about density while doing the density simulation. One thing that I'm mainly going to focus on is that mass and volume both pertain to density. The formula for density is mass divided by volume. Mass is a property of a physical body which determines the strength of gravitational attraction to other bodies. Volume is the amount of space that an substance or object occupies. The density of a substance is the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up, (volume). The mass of atoms, their size, and how they are arranged determine the density of a substance.

Density simulation

What I learned about Density is that if there is a bunch of squares that have the same mass but thte only difference is the volume so that might float or might sink. If they have the same volume the mass could be different so they could sink or float.

Density

When the block floated it was less dense than the water. when it was more dense than the water than it would sink because it was more dense than the water
