Scenario---density challenge: Study the three diagrams below showing objects in three
different solutions. Use your reasoning ability to try to compare the densities of the
objects and the solutions. Assume objects having the same shape have the same density.
Liquid line
BEAKER X
BEAKER Y
BEAKER Z
1 Which liquid: beaker X or Y is less dense?____ How can you tell?
2. List the objects (triangle, square, circle) in order from least to most
dense
___________ _____________ _______________
3. What can you infer would happen if the sphere were placed in beaker Z?
______________________ Explain how you know
4. What is the density of the sphere in beaker X as compared to the Liquid
in Beaker X?
