Floats? Write "YES" if the object floats, and "NO" if the object does not float.
Mass (g) / Volume (mL) Find the mass and volume of the objects. Calculate the density of the objects (mass divided by volume)
What is the density of the liquid in the pail? ______________________
Rank: Number the objects from lowest density to highest density.
Questions:

object to sink or float?
2) Which object has the greatest volume? _____________________ the least? _____________
3) Which object has the greatest mass? _____________________ the least? _____________
4) Which object has the greatest density?_____________________ the least? _____________
