    1- Our Question to investigate

    Why do different fruits and vegetables


    have different densities?
    2- Background research
     Density is the measurement of how

    tightly a material is packed together.

     It is defined as the mass per unit volume.


    3- Hypothesis
    What do you think will happen, (even
    before you start the experiment)?
    1- We think that the apple , the cucumber
    and the tomato will float.
    2- We also think that the orange ,the carrot

    and the potato will sink.


    4- Materials
    The materials we used were:
    1. Various fruits and vegetable ( apple , carrot
    , potato , tomato , orange , cucumber and
    carrot)
    2. Kitchen scale
    3. Water
    4. Pen and paper for recording data
    5. Measuring cup
    4- Materials
    5- Identifying variables
    List the Variable you changed, the variable you measured and
    the Variables you kept the same in the following table:

    What I change What I measure What I keep the same

    Solid Liquid Gas


    • Same amount of
    • Different kinds of • The density of each
    water
    fruits and vegetables fruit by calculating • Same measuring
    cup
    its mass and
    • Same size of fruits
    volume. and vegetables.
    • Same scale
    6- Experiment
    First, Begin by measuring the mass of each fruit or vegetable
    using a kitchen scale.
    Record the mass in grams.

    Second , Fill a measuring cylinder or graduated cylinder


    with water.

    Third , Carefully lower one fruit or vegetable into the water-


    filled cylinder, ensuring it is fully submerged. Take note of
    the initial water level.
    6- Experiment

    Fourth , Record the new water level after the fruit or


    vegetable has displaced an amount of water.

    Fifth , Record all the data


    in a tabular format.
    7- Record your Results
    Different The density of each fruit or vegetable in grams
    kinds of fruits
    and vegetables
    Mass Volume Density Float/sink

    Tomato 82 35 2.34 Sink

    Cucumber 71 50 1.42 Float

    Carrot 70 30 2.33 Sink

    Potato 201 200 1.5 Sink

    Apple 148 150 0.99 Float

    Orange 271 320 0.85 Float


    Accurate?!

    We were accurate because , we


    used a standard unit
    (grams)
    8- Conclusion
    The more the density the more it
    sinks.
    The more the mass the more the
    density.
    9-Application
    How does this apply to real life?
    • Fruits and vegetables are dense for different reasons.
    For example: apples are usually less dense than water. They
    will float on top of the water. If you place a tomato into the
    water, it is denser than water, so it will sink. If the container
    is completely full when you put the apple in, the water will
    spill over the top, but the tomato will sink in the water.
    • Also, the shape or age of a fruit can also impact whether it
    sinks or floats.
