Concepts: Density is what decides whether an object sinks or floats in water. If something is less dense than water, it floats. If something is more dense than water, it sinks.
Items found in our kit or basic items found in the classroom.
Directions:
Before you begin, make predictions. What do you think will float? Sink? Why?
Fill the container with water.
Place each object into the water.
Note whether the object sinks or floats!
Conduct your investigation, make observations and record your findings. Perform the experiment where your scientist can easily reach into the container, and where you won’t mind a bit of water dribbling out! Ask:
Why do you think some objects float and some objects sink?
Is there anything the same about the objects that floated?
What is the same about the objects that sank?
Ways to expand it:
Go larger. Use a larger bin to test larger objects.
Place an orange in your container of water. Observe what happens. Next, peel the orange and place the peeled orange into the container. Can you explain what you see?
Float a flat piece of foil on top of the water, then crumple the foil into a ball, and see what happens.
