Density
A substance often used for cooking that is able to sit on top of water due to it being less dense.
What is Oil?
Molasses is a highly viscous liquid, and because of that, it is not able to do this as easily as other liquids, such as water.
What is Flow?
Cruise ships can float on top of water because they are a certain type of buoyant.
What is Positively Buoyant?
The particles of this state of matter a tightly packed together.
What are Solids?
Be sure not to heat your compressed gas container too much, otherwise this might happen to it.
What is Explode?
The solid version of water, which can float on top of water due to it being less dense.
What is Ice?
This will happen to items that are negatively buoyant.
What is Sink?
The force that holds most solids to the ground.
What is Gravity?
The layer of air that surrounds our planet.
What is the Atmosphere?
Finding the density of an object relies on knowing these characteristics of it.
What is Mass and Volume?
High viscosity is caused by high amounts of this between particles as they slide past each other.
What is Friction or Collisions?
This neutrally buoyant item floats just below waters surface, and makes for a great summer time snack.
What is Watermelon?
Particles move much faster when this is applied.
What is Heat?
What is Helium?
This characteristic of wood logs, which it shares with items such as tea bags, allows water to enter the air pockets housed within.
What is Porous?
Doing this to a chocolate bar will greatly decrease its viscosity.
What is Heating or Melting?
This military metal command hub travels throughout the sea, switching between all three types of buoyancy depending on whether it wants to sink, surface, or stay level.
What is a Submarine?
This hypothesis states that everything that exists is made up of tiny pieces of matter.
What is Particle Theory?
The lighter-than-air gas that was used by the Hindenburg on its fateful voyage.
What is Hydrogen?
The density of an object with a volume of 51mL and a mass of 146g.
What is 2.86g/mL?
In contrast to liquids, increasing the temperature of this state of matter actually increases its viscosity because particles collide more frequently.
What is a gas?
This positively buoyant item might just save your life if you find yourself having fallen off of a ship.
What is a life preserver?
This method involves submerging an irregularly shaped object in a fluid to measure the volume of the fluid it pushes aside.
What is Displacement?
This Law states that if we reduce the volume of the space containing a gas, the pressure increases as long as the temperature stays the same.
What is Boyle's Law?
