🔬 Why does one foil ball sink while the other floats? 🌊✨

They’re made from the same piece of aluminum foil… so why do they behave so differently?

🔬 Science behind this experiment:
• The foil ball made underwater traps water instead of air, so it sinks.
• The foil ball made in the air traps tiny pockets of air inside.
• That trapped air increases buoyancy and lowers the ball’s overall density, allowing it to float.
• Same foil. Same mass. One small difference makes a big change!

🌎 Where do we see this in real life?
• Steel ships float because they trap air inside their hulls.
• Life jackets help people float by increasing buoyancy.

✨ What you’ll learn:
🔹 Density
🔹 Buoyancy
🔹 Floating vs. sinking
🔹 The role of trapped air

Comment “DENSITY” and I’ll send you the step-by-step instructions to try this experiment at home! 🔬
