Fill in the blanks.


1.

_________________________ is used to make rafts and boats as water transport


because ____________________ is less dense than ___________________ .
Therefore, they can ___________________ on water.

2.

Ships have big _____________________________________ within their bodies. This


reduces the ______________________ of the ship, allowing it to ________________.

3.

A submarine submerges into the sea by filling up the ________________________


with sea water to increase its _____________________. In contrast, it emerges or
floats on water by _________________________ sea water from its ballast tank to
________________________ its density.

4.

__________________ are less dense than water. Therefore, floating ____________


can be transported to the saw mills by the river or sea.

5.

A hot air balloon has a _______________________ to heat up the air in the


balloon. Once the air in the balloon becomes hot, it becomes ______________
than the surrounding air. Therefore, the hot air rises, pushing the balloon
___________________________ into the sky.

6.

___________________ is used to kill mosquito larvae because it is less dense


than water. When it is spread onto _________________________ water, a thin film
of oil coat the water surface. This cuts off the _________________________ supply
to the mosquito larvae and hence _____________________ them.

7.

The Tower of Pisa was not initially built ____________________________ . However,


throughout the centuries, its inclination has been increasing slightly that it is
now known as ____________________________________________________________

8.

A __________________ has air within its body to reduce its ____________________.


This allows it to ___________________________ on water. Buoys on the sea help
the ship navigators to avoid ______________________________ water. Floats are
used to prevent ____________________ when swimming. ______________________
are provided on various passenger carriers such as aircraft and ships.

Large __________________________ or _________________________________ are


used by fishermen to catch fish on the sea. _________________________________
(__________________) are attached to the top portion of the nets as floats.
_________________________________ are attached to the bottom portion of the
nets to ensure that the nets remain open.

10.

A sunken ship can be raised from the seabed by using huge balloons filled
with air or ____________________________. The huge balloons that are attached
to the ship will rise to the surface of the sea, lifting the ship at the same time.

11.

Mined tin ores and gold are separated from the _________________ by panning
method using a ______________________. As water flows down the palung, the
lower density mud flows down together with the water while the higher
density ________________________ and __________________ are deposited at the
bottom of the palung.

12.

Weather balloons are inflated with ______________________________, which has


lower density than air. This makes the weather balloons ____________ up into
the sky/atmosphere. The speed and direction of the _________________ at
certain altitude is detected by visually observing the ascent of the balloons.
Larger balloons carry instrument called ________________________ , which
detect the pressure, temperature, humidity and wind condition at upper
atmosphere.
