Why does air haveweight?
Because air has weight, mass, and density objects will either sink or float in it. Some balloons will float for example.
A certain piece of wood has the same mass and weight as a certain glass marble Explain what happens to the object when they are places into a tub of water?
The density of glass is greater than that of water and so will sink. Different species of wood have different densities so, depending on the species, some will float while others will sink.
What procedure would you use to find the density of the marbles?
