Procedure :
1. I measured 50ml of water and 50ml of cooking oil using the measuring
cylinder. Then, i poured into the beaker.
2. I put cork and stone in the beaker.
3. 1 drew what I observed.
4. 1 wrote a lab report.
Observation :
cork
cooking oil
water
stone
FIGURE 1
1. Cork and cooking oil float on water while stone sinks in water.
2. The density of these substances affects their buoyancies.
3. The cork sinks and become denser when a nail is added to it.
Analysis :
1. Cork and cooking oil float on water because it is less dense than water.
2. Stone sinks in water because it is denser than water.
3. Sequence of densities of substances in ascending order is :
Cork Cooking oil Water Stone
4.
Substance Density (gcm-3)
Cork 0.25
Cooking oil 0.75
Ice 0.92
Water 1.0
Stone 2.6
Mercury 13.6
TABLE 1
PEKA form 1
i) Using the results in Table 1, the position of ice and mercury are predicted.
ii) Figure 2 is drawn using the result in Table 1.

FIGURE 2
iii) Based on Figure 2, the substances are classified into 2 groups based on
common property.
Conclusion :
Different substances have different densities.
