What is density?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume of a substance. For example, a rock is denser than a piece of Styrofoam because it has more mass in the same volume.<|im_end|>

Why do things float or sink?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Things float if they are less dense than the liquid they are in, and they sink if they are denser. That's why a piece of wood floats in water, but a rock sinks.<|im_end|>

Is air matter?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, air is a type of matter, but it's much less dense than solid objects like rocks or wood. That's why it's easy to move through the air, but harder to move through a solid object.<|im_end|>
