HYPOTHESIS:
I think that all of the boats will sink becauseclay is very thick and heavy, there will be
more density so it will sink.
QUESTION:
How does the shape of something effectits ability to make it float or sink?

Conclusions:
I thought that no matter which shape the clay was in, it would sink because of how
heavy and dense it was. I was surprised to find that the bowl and both of the boats
floated. So to answer my question; Yes, changing the shape of an object can indeedeffect its ability to float. To conclude, my hypothesis was wrong.

PROCEDURE:
1.
Fill a container with 4 inches of water.
2.Using a scale, measure out 3 oz. of clay.

3.Mold the clay into different 3 oz. shapes (solid ball, hallow ball, raft, bowl,
open ended cylinder, a boat with short walls, and a boat with tall walls).
Rolling pin and wax paper can be used to help with this this step.
4.
Put each molded shape into the water.5.Tested for floatability.
Conclusions:
I thought that no matter which shape the clay was in, it would sink because of how
heavy and dense it was. I was surprised to find that the bowl and both of the boats
floated. So to answer my question; Yes, changing the shape of an object can indeed
effect its ability to float. To conclude, my hypothesis was wrong.

3.Mold the clay into different 3 oz. shapes (solid ball, hallow ball, raft, bowl,
open ended cylinder, a boat with short walls, and a boat with tall walls).
Rolling pin and wax paper can be used to help with this this step.
4.
Put each molded shape into the water.
5.Tested for floatability.
Conclusions:
I thought that no matter which shape the clay was in, it would sink because of howheavy and dense it was. I was surprised to find that the bowl and both of the boats
floated. So to answer my question; Yes, changing the shape of an object can indeed
effect its ability to float. To conclude, my hypothesis was wrong.
HYPOTHESIS:

I think that all of the boats will sink because
clay is very thick and heavy, there will be
more density so it will sink.
