There is not usually a relationship between weight and ability to float because A boat usually is very heavy and it floats.

No weight does not matter. Because big boats are in water and they do not sink.

Weight does matter because when we measure it we have to see what the measure it is.

I think that weight does matter because with out the weight we
will not know if it will sink or
float.

Yes there is a relationship between the weight of the object and it's ability to float. It is that some objects may be heavy because they are big and some objects may be light because they are small and it doesn't matter if they are the same objects.

Weight does not matter .what matters is what it's made of.Like if you put a big cylinder of aluminum it will sink,but if you put a small cylinder of aluminum it will sink.

YES,becuase if it was made of meatl and it was small or big it will still sink becuasemeatl is heavy.

No weight doesn't matter because what matters is if it has a hole.

Yes weight does matter because the acrylic cylinder and the aluminum
cylinder sank.

Yes,because if it was heavy then
you could not lift a heavy box.

No weight doesn't matter because
the small acrylic cylinder weighed
the same as the small polyethylene
cylinder and it sank.

Yes, weight matters because metal
sinks but wood floats.
Wood is not heave and metal is heave.

No, I think weight doesn't
matter because something small
and something large made out of
the same material can weigh
something different.

Yes because when logs fall in the water some of them float and some of them sink.

Anonymous said...

yes cause if one is the same weight and the other is to will both will float.unless if you don't level it.

The weight does not matter because of the weight of the paper clips.The first object i studied weighed 4 paper clips and sunk.The next object weighed 2 paper clips and sunk also.

Weight is important because if we did not weigh any thing our bodies would not be stable enough to hold us up .

I think the weight does not matter because i did the experiment and weighed the objects. Its weird because some objects floated and weighed more then 10 paper clips. I also weighed some that weighed under 5 paper clips and they sunk. I think the materials matter more then the weight of the object.

Yes, because if the weight is light
it can float.

Some things weigh more than others so they sink. some weigh less so it may float others may sink. because the size sometimes matters because it may be small enough to float.
