Archimedes was running through town shouting "Eureka" which means

• I've got it!

• Gold is the most expensive metal!

• I'm rich!

The force that pushes your body up to the surface of a body of water like when you jump into a pool and rise to the surface is called

• bouyancy

• floating

• sinking

• gravity

The more Archimedes submerged into the water, the more ______ spilled over the edge of the tub.

• gold

• water

• soap

• air

Archimedes figured out that if he put the crown in water, it would spill out a certain amount that

• depended on how much water was in the tub.

• that depended on what the crown was made of.

• that would be the same no matter what the crown was made of.

Gold is more/less dense that any other metal the crown could be made of.

• more

• less

Archimede's Principle is so accurate that it is often used to measure the density of objects that are:

• large

• small

• irregular shaped

• geometric shaped
