Object Mass (g) Vol. before (cmยณ) Vol. after (cmยณ) Vol. of object (cmยณ) Density (g/cmยณ)
Remember: Density of water = 1 g/cmยณ. Objects with density > 1 g/cmยณ sink. Objects with density < 1 g/cmยณ float. For floating objects like cork, push them fully under the water with a pencil to get an accurate volume reading.
