In science we learned about why items sink or float. We learned that the density of an object can cause it to sink or float. When objects are more dense than water, they will sink. But when objects are less dense than water, they will float!
We had fun testing some objects to see if they would sink or float.
Ask your kids the results of our experiments!
Will an orange sink or float? What happens if you peel the orange?
Will a bowling ball sink or float?
Will soda cans sink or float? Does it make a difference if they are regular soda or diet soda?
What has a higher density than water? Dish soap or vegetable oil?
