No, wrapping it up in something heavy will not make the Styrofoam itself weigh more.

Would a 20lb bowling ball weigh more than a 3-foot cube of styrofoam?
Yes and no: the ball would weigh more (yes) but they don't make balls that big (no).
How do you make yourself weigh more?
how to make yourself weigh more for a weigh in
Which weighs more 10kg stack of books or 10kg piece of Styrofoam?
Both the 10kg stack of books and the 10kg piece of Styrofoam weigh the same amount, 10kg, because weight is a measure of the force due to gravity acting on an object's mass.
How would you find the density of plasticine?
Roll the plasticine into a sphere and measure the diameter and use the formula for the volume of a sphere V=pi r^2, then weight the sphere to get the mass and use Density = Volume upon Mass. Alternatively, use Archimedes' principle: 1) Weigh a piece of plasticine to get its mass. Very carefully fill a glass with water so full that it cannot contain one more drop of water. Immerse the plasticine in the glass, collecting the water that has run out of the full glass. The volume of the water is equal to the volume of the plasticine. Determine the volume of the water by either weighing it (density of pure water is 1 g per mL) or by accurately measuring the volume. Density = mass (g)/ volume (mL) 2) If you have a balance that can determine mass of an hanging object, first weigh your plasticine to determine its mass. Then attach it to string and take its mass hanging (the string also has mass). Then take its mass while the plasticine is just submersed in water. It will weigh less when submersed in water. The loss of mass when submersed is equal to the mass of water that has the same volume as the plasticine. (density of water is 1 g per mL) Now you can determine the volume of the plasticine since the mass lost in g equals the volume of water in mL. Density is the original mass divided by the volume.
Does Styrofoam absorb sound?
Styrofoam does absorb sound but it reflects it also. It absorbs more than a brick wall but not as much as softer foams. It does make very good heat insulation.
Is styrofoam polar or nonpolar?
Thermoplastic is a term that refers to a substance turning into plastic when exposed to extreme temperatures. This would make Styrofoam thermoplastic.
How do you stop the use of styrofoam in schools?
You can replace styrofoam with something more recyclable like paper containers
Does lifting weights make you skinny?
No it makes you have more muscels tending to make you weigh more.
Why plasticine sinks in water?
it floats as it is like a putty and it it is light.
Why does a coin sink while a piece of styrofoam of a similar shape and size floats?
Because a coin is more dense than water, while styrofoam is not.
What is more buoyant air filled balloon or Styrofoam?
Under water they are as buoyant as each other but on land the balloon will float away and the Styrofoam will stay.
Is Styrofoam a countable or uncountable noun?
The noun 'Styrofoam' is an uncountable noun as a word for a substance.Some uncountable nouns for substances use a plural form exclusively for 'types of' or 'kinds of''. However, I don't know if there is more than one kind of Styrofoam.
