Today, we’re going to experiment with items around the house that may sink or float in water! First, gather some items from around the house. Now, I want you to predict if they’ll float or sink. Put the items you think will sink into one pile, and the items that will float into another. Now fill up a tub with water or ask mom if you can use the sink, and test your hypothesis.

Here’s my prediction of which items will float and which will sink:

The results

I was surprised at the results of the experiment. I wonder why some items were able to float while others sank??? Share the results of your experiment.
