Floating or Sinking by Shelly Nash https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t What are your thoughts on why something floats are sinks? Are there certain characteristics that are in common? What conclusions can you make? en-us 2017-08-30 15:27:46 UTC 2026-01-05 21:00:43 UTC hello@padlet.com 1.) Something floats or sinks because of its density. If its density is more than 1 it sinks, it its less it floats. https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197429621 2.) The objects that sunk usually took less space and were more compact. The objects that floated had lots of surface area.
3.) Objects that have lots of surface area and a density lower than 1 will float.

Objects that have a density less than water float, and greater densities sink.]]> 2017-10-16 16:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197430741 -It has to do with how dense a material is compared to water. -On top of everything else, floating has to do with whether or not there is any air, and if so, where it is. If there is air trapped underneath of an object,or in an object, it may keep the object afloat because air is less dense than water. https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197430751 Faith]]> 2017-10-16 16:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197430751 https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197430761 An object's density determines whether it floats or sinks. If an object is made out of a material that is less dense than water it will float and if it is more dense than water, it'll sink. It doesn't matter what shape the object is. If you have a sphere made out of a material more dense than water and a pyramid made out of the same material, they will both sink.]]> 2017-10-16 16:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197430761 duaxm20 https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197430805 The main characteristic on of why something sinks or floats is its density. If the density is lower,than 1, it floats. If it is higher than 1, it sinks.

A characteristic that is common with a lot of the objects were that the material were the same. A conclusion that I can make is that many things can affect how an object may react in the water. ]]> 2017-10-16 16:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431106 Float and Sinking https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431124 There are multiple things to sinking and/or floating: The area of the object goes into affect.

Also the way you put it in the water and how long its in there. 
2)Lots of characteristics of the objects that sunk were the same, one being mass.
3) One conclusion i made was that you really have to think about the material, weight, density, etc in order to determine whether it sinks or not.]]> 2017-10-16 16:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431140 https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431153 The items that floated had a smaller density than the items that sunk.

For example, the G. cylinder has air on the inside space, resulting in it floating due to lower density. If it was filled with water, it would sink. The stress toy is hollow (so you can squeeze it) so the space is filled with air, resulting in its buoyancy https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431231 2017-10-16 16:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431231 https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431244 The way that something is entered or touched by another object can affect its float-ability ]]> 2017-10-16 16:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431244 https://padlet.com/nashs/hch210wf9w1t/wish/197431361 It all has to do with density.
