In this thread, try to come up with some everyday or common examples of things you might see or do that have something to do with density or can be explained using density. Be sure to include how density is important or how density explains something.
I'll give an example to get things going:
When I pour chocolate syrup into milk, the chocolate syrup all goes to the bottom. This is because the chocolate syrup is more dense than the milk - meaning the chocolate syrup is thicker or more compact than the milk.
***the discussion can be posting new ideas, commenting on the examples given, or by asking questions and posting answers to other questions.

Ah. Good one, Mr. Kruse. But another thing is that when you are just finishing with the syrup, it stays on top of the milk. I think that has to do with what you say about the clay, and making it different to change it's mass. |

How do people drown if they are also able to float? I would say panicking. Some people just don't have enough air to get back to the surface. |

if a bowl is empty will it float? what if it has something in it? what is the difference? is it the density? what is density again?

Well first of all, a high percentage of people who drown are people who dont know how to swim, so they really dont know they can float by just sitting still. Drowning can really have a psychological meaning behind it when you think about it.
