Can water float on water?

Post by 387fc6eeaf91495484a406bf6f7a22af »

Hello, I am having a hard time figuring out what is being measured in this project because I am required to have a project that measures something so I just want to be sure this is measuring something so I don't make a fool out of myself.

Hello,

This sounds like a fun project but there may be other project ideas that are a better choice and include more measurements. Have you tried the Topic Selection Wizard? https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... round-info

The Can Water Float on Water project could include measurements of the water density (step 10 under Salinity and Mixing) if you have a hydrometer or water temperature (step 3 under Temperature and Mixing) if you have a thermometer. However, these are limited an not as important to the project since you are not analyzing the results in any way.

Good luck,
