The straw and paper clip float in different ways because each liquid has a different density (and so buoyancy), although the straw and paper clip have the same density.
Why do liquids have different densities?
- Because they have different masses, the same amount of two distinct liquids you put in the container will have different densities. The liquids with a higher density will sink below the liquids with a lower density (a lower density).
