Select one of the oxygen gas molecules to continue.
Matter (solids, liquids, and gases) is made up of tiny particles- atoms and molecules.
Air is about 80% nitrogen gas and 20% oxygen gas. Water, carbon dioxide, and other gases are also in air.
For example, air is made from mostly nitrogen and oxygen molecules.
This paragraph is ready to hold stunning creativity, experiences and stories.

To go up, the fish fills its swim bladder with oxygen gas.
How fish control their depth:
Filling its swim bladder with oxygen gas makes the fish less dense and therefore more buoyant.
Why does filling its swim bladder with oxygen gas help a fish float?
Gases have a much higher density than liquids.
Gases have a much lower density than liquids.
To go down, the fish empties its swim bladder.
