Density
To discover what properties determine the phenomenon of objects able to float and objects able to sink. To identify these properties as mass and volume. To apply density to the three different types of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

Displacement
This activity was designed for grades 4th thru 8th. Students will acquire a working definition of the word displacement. Students will also understand that the volume (size) of an object placed in water effects the amount of water that is displaced.
