Phet Density

This document contains a worksheet for a PhET simulation activity on density. It includes sections for customizing an object's material and measuring if it floats based on its volume and density. The questions ask about comparing densities of different sized objects, what determines if an object floats, calculating density from given values, and discussing observations from comparing materials in the simulation.
