This word describes the force that causes objects to float.
What is buoyancy?
100
This attribute of an object has no effect on whether the object will sink or float in water.
What is color?
100
This instrument measure the pull of gravity on an object.
What is a scale?
100
Three blocks with the same volume are placed in water. Block 1 floats almost on top of the water. Block 2 floats lower in the water. Block 3 sinks. _____ is the block with the least mass.
What is Block 1?
100
An ice cube floats in a glass of water because...
... ice is less dense than liquid water.
200
This word describes how much matter ("stuff") is in an object.
What is mass?
200
If two objects have the same mass, but different volumes, which object will float?
What is the object with the greatest volume?
200
This instrument measures the amount of matter in an object.
What is a balance?
200
A ball of clay is placed in water and it sinks. The SAME ball of clay is made into a boat that floats on water. This is the attribute that changed and allowed the clay to float.
What is shape?
200
Two blocks of the same size are placed in water. The block in Box 1 sinks. The block in Box 2 floats. One possible reason for this is...
...the block in Box 1 is more massive than the block in Box 2.
OR
...the block in Box 1 is more dense that the block in Box 2.
300
This word describes how much space an object takes up.
What is volume?
300
If two objects have the same volume, but different masses, which one is more likely to float?
What is the object with the least mass?
300
This instrument is used to measure the volume of liquids.
What is a graduated cylinder?
300
An object is placed into a bucket of water. The buoyant force of the water on the object is less than the force of gravity on the object. This is what happens to the object.
What is sink?
300
A kickball is accidentally kicked into a pool. The buoyant force of the water on the kickball is MUCH greater than the force of gravity on the kickball. The kickball...
... floats.
400
This word describes how strongly gravity is pulling on an object.
What is weight?
400
A beach ball floats on top of water with almost none of the ball below the waterline. What is the most likely density of the beach ball?
0.001g/ml &emsp &emsp 1g/ml &emsp &emsp 0.1g/ml
What is 0.001g/ml?
400
This is a unit of mass.
What are grams or kilograms?
400
An object is placed in a bucket of water. The buoyant force of the water on the object is much greater than the force of gravity on the object. This describes what happens to the object.
What is float?
400
True or False: A statue is found in a lake. The force of gravity is MUCH stronger on the statue than the buoyant force of the water on the statue, so the statue floats.
FALSE
500
This word describes how much matter ("stuff") is in a specific unit of space.
What is density?
500
This is the density of pure water at room temperature.
What is 1.0g/ml?
500
This unit is a measure of an object's volume.
What is a milliliter or liter?
500
A cup of wax has a mass of 93 grams. The same sized cup of water has a mass of 105 grams. This is what the wax does.
What is float?
500
True or False: A bowling ball is found in a pond. The force of gravity is MUCH stronger on the bowling ball than the buoyant force of the water on the bowling ball, so it sinks.
