Material/Substance Density Floats on Sinks on

Water Water
Ice Cubes 0.92 g/cm3 Yes No
Small piece of iron 7.80 g/cm3 No Yes
Cooking oil 0.90 g/cm3 Yes No

1. The ice cube will float in water.

2. The density of ice is lesser than the density of
water.
3. The piece of iron will sink in water.
4. The density of iron is greather than the density of
the water
5. The cooking oil will float on top of water because of
its density.
6. The density of water is greater than the cooking oil.
7. The higher its density the more it sinks, the lower
its density the more likely it will float.
