Demonstrates basic principles of water, including surface tension, pressure, and buoyancy. It shows how water can hold more than its brim due to surface tension, how pressure increases with depth, and ...

What: Earlier this summer we learned about density. Density is the amount of mass in a given volume, or amount of space. Mass is dependent on the number of molecules in an object. Objects that are ...

Density describes substances based on much mass they have in a certain volume. Increasing pressure causes a gas to decrease in volume while it’s mass stays the same. Objects that are more dense than ...
