McKenzie Bumgarner Mrs. McGillivary 8th Science 18 December 2013 Today floating is important. Boats float in the ocean, boats can be used for fun and also for delivering things over sea. There are many factors that contribute to floating. Such as density, buoyancy, solution, solvent, solute and many other things. Density is â€Å"Is a measure of mass per unit of volume. Density is what helps make things float, anything that has a density less than one it floats. The more density the object has, the higher the mass per volume. For example, take a sponge, most of the artificial ones are made out of foamed plastic. Therefore sponges hold or contain a lot of density. If you were to take a sponge and melt it into a plastic soup without the bubbles, it will stay one pound but it will become much denser. Density is probably the most important thing thats needed in order for an object float.1,000.00 kg/m ³ is the equation for the density of water.(chemforkids.com) Buoyancy is the ability to float. â€Å"Buoyancy is first and foremost, a force.† buoyancy moves things in an upward movement....
