What units are used for mass
Litres, Millilitres etc
How do you calculate density
Mass divided by Volume
What is density
Density: A measure of mass per unit volume of a substance
How do you measure Buoyancy
With a hydrometer
What is buyoancy
Buoyancy: The upward supportive force on an object in fluid
Why do big metal boats float?

Because it displaces the water to a point where the force of gravity is the same as the buoyant force.
What happens if you drop a material that is less dense than water IN water
It floats
