Why ice floats — a hands-on density lab with a draggable cube.

An interactive tank where you can grab the ice cube, push it under and feel Archimedes push back — it settles at exactly 91.7% submerged, matching the 0.917 ice-to-water density ratio.

Start melting and watch the honeycomb lattice collapse in the live molecular view, the cube hold at 0 °C while hydrogen bonds break, and the waterline stay put as the meltwater fills exactly the volume the cube displaced.
