a) If a dice is placed in the density tower and floats on top of the layer of dish soap, what is its approximate density? Less than 1.06 g/mL b) If a ping-pong ball floats at the very top of the density tower, what can you conclude about its density? It has zero density at all or less than 0.81 g/mL as the lamp oil has. c) A popcorn kernel has an approximate density of 1.22 g/mL. Where would a popcorn kernel go if dropped into this tower? In the whole milk

a) If a dice is placed in the density tower and floats on top of the layer of dish soap, what
is its approximate density? Less than 1.06 g/mL
b) If a ping-pong ball floats at the very top of the density tower, what can you conclude
about its density? It has zero density at all or less than 0.81 g/mL as the lamp oil has.
c) A popcorn kernel has an approximate density of 1.22 g/mL. Where would a popcorn
kernel go if dropped into this tower? In the whole milk
d) A student dropped a bolt into this tower, but it sank all the way to the bottom. What is
another way they could determine its density? Using math with volume and mass. Could
have found out its volume using water and a graduated cylinder. And then used the
volume and mass formula to find density.
