Hypothesis: If a Twix has cookie inside, then it will have the least amount of density.
Materials:
4 candy bars( Snickers, Twix, 3 Musketeers, Milky way)
Balance
Ruler
Procedures: First, you try to find the volume measure by using L x W x H. You then measure the width using a ruler. Finally, find the mass of the candy bar by weighing it on the scale and find its density by using D=M/V.

Analysis: Out of all the all the candy bars, Snickers were more denser because it has caramel inside it making the mass a little bigger, so when comparing it to the other bars the Snickers weighs 17.41 and 3 Musketeers weighs 6.32. Density is related to whether it sinks or floats because if it is light the candy will float but, if it has a high amount of density then it will sink. The way I would predict if it could float on water, would be trying to get an estimated weight by placing it on the of my hand. My prediction was wrong because I just looked at the size of the candy bar, guessing that just because it was small It would float. Sincerely it didn’t work for all
