A 5th grade student is trying to find out if a penny or a small wooden block is more dense than the other. She conducts an experiment using a water-filled beaker. Next, she gently places each item into the water-filled beaker. She observes that the penny immediately sinks to the bottom of the beaker, while the wooden block stays floating on top of the water. From her experiment this student can conclude that

• both the penny and the wooden cube have the same amount of density.

• the penny is more dense than the wooden block.

• the wooden block is more dense than the penny.

• she needs more data to figure out her conclusion.
