Feather
Clay
Two cups
8 ounces of water

Method:
Using the digital scale, weigh the feather and the clay and document the weight of each object. Fill two cups with 4 ounces of water. In each cup, place each item inside the water.  Observe which items sink and which items float.]]> 2022-09-25 17:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/penningtonk4/ggd6rkty3j7ecd90/wish/2312428623 Collect Data penningtonk4 https://padlet.com/penningtonk4/ggd6rkty3j7ecd90/wish/2312428624 The feather weighed the least amount at 0.082 grams.

The clay weighed 505 grams.

The feather floated on top of the water.

The clay sank to the bottom of the cup.

The heavier object, the clay, sank to the bottom.]]> 2022-09-25 17:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/penningtonk4/ggd6rkty3j7ecd90/wish/2312428625 Conclusion penningtonk4 https://padlet.com/penningtonk4/ggd6rkty3j7ecd90/wish/2312428626 Objects with a heavier mass will sink, and objects with a lighter mass will float. Hence, why the feather floated and the clay did not.]]> 2022-09-25 17:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/penningtonk4/ggd6rkty3j7ecd90/wish/2312428626
