Activity #2: How to Conduct the Experiments 1. Mass: Use a Digital scale & record weight (grams) 2. Sink or Float: Gently Drop entire lemon in a large measuring cup filled with enough water to fully submerge the lemon. Observe if the lemon sinks or floats. 3. Volume: Place the lemon in a large measuring cup and add enough water to cover up the lemon. Record the water level volume. Remove the lemon and measure the new, lower water level.
