Changing the Density of an Object: Adding Material

Changing the Density of an Object: Adding Material

Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float. Learners will use this idea to make an object that is more dense than water float.
