Today we experimented with objects to see whether they would sink or float. We followed the following steps.
Floating and Sinking
-
Predict if the object floats or sinks.
-
Pour water into tub.
-
Place an item into tub of water.
-
Observe if the item floats or sinks.
-
Record what you discover.
View the clip to see why some objects sink and others float.
