That's Our Experiment!
Okay, so today we did this experiment for our science assignment. We were suppose to find out the density of a person------and unfortunately, Les became our guinea pig. We filled the bath tub with 90 L of water and she jumped in, and taped the risen water level. Then she jumped out and we poured about 66 L of water to reach the tape. So that was the volume. But we still needed the mass, but fortunately Les remembered her weight from two weeks ago and we had volume + mass. Okay, so the formula goes like this... Density equals Mass divided by Volume (Or so I remembered: Dumplings equals Mushroom divided by veggies). We got a fascinating result------Les' has less density than water! Holy Cheese Cake with Carrots! Oh, that's why humans float on top of the water...Shunnnnnnn...
