Question

Pat says that people are less dense than water. Explain how you could test this idea. Do you agree with Pat?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can place various people into pools of water, and see if they will spontaneously float like "less dense" objects will. What you will discover is that if a human's weight is distributed "properly" as in back floating, they will float, but without motions to "push up" (called swimming) most other "stances" result in not floating...call the rescue squad and begin CPR. Since most of the human body is made of water, the margin of difference is so close that you get these kind of outcomes.
