Open Ended

Based on the images, compare what happens to the wood and the rubber ducky in their respective columns. What does this tell you about their densities relative to water?

Open Ended

What would you predict happens to the ice in the orange column based on the pattern you observe with the other objects?

Multiple Choice

Why does ice float in water?

• Because its density is less than the density of water.

• Because it is heavier than water.

• Because it is warmer than water.

• Because it dissolves in water.

Open Ended
