Exploring Density

The video tutorial explains the concept of density, comparing the mass of a penny and a block of wood. It highlights that density, not mass, determines whether an object will float or sink in water. The tutorial provides a formula for calculating density and demonstrates it with a ping pong ball example. It emphasizes that density is independent of sample size and encourages viewers to conduct their own experiments to understand the concept better.

Why does a block of wood float while a penny sinks in water?

Explain the concept of density and how it is calculated.

What determines whether an object will sink or float in a liquid?

How can you experimentally determine the density of an object?

Discuss how the size of an object affects its density.
