Science - Sink & Float

The children made boats out of tin foil and tested them out.  They added plastic bear counters to see if it would still float.

We made predictions about whether some items would float or sink in water on a recording sheet with pencil and then re-recorded in marker after adding items to the water.

We explored a variety of items to see if they would sink or float.  Many were able to add items to another that would still float.

We tried to make clay boats that would float, but all of them sunk because they were too heavy.

Ask your children about our sink and float experiments.

Lots of fun!
