Explain how the water you drink today could be the same water a dinosaur drank thousands of years ago.
Water is recycled. After a dinosaur drank water it exhaled some water into the atmosphere. The water has been recycled within the atmosphere for thousands of years.

How are buoyancy and density related?
One substance is buoyant if it is less dense than the substance it is in
If you are traveling in a car with a helium balloon and the driver suddenly puts on the brakes, what will happen to your body, and what will happen to the balloon?
Your momentum will carry your body forward as the car suddenly slows down. It will also carry air molecules forward. Helium is lighter than air so the balloon will move backward.
