Back in their laboratory, the team of scientists carefully measure the changes in the density of a freshwater sample as they decrease its temperature from 20°C to 0°C. Based on the data in the table, what effect does decrease the temperature from 20°C to 4°C have on the sample’s density? Temperature (°C) Density (kg/m3)
