ey all you scientists, try this water experiment. Floating lets you stay at the water’s surface when you’re swimming. Take a look at what else floats! Walk around your house and collect items you’d like to test – plastic toys, paper clips, fruit, rocks, a spoon, etc.
1. Make a list of your objects and write down for each one whether you think it’ll sink or float. 2. Fill a plastic bin or other large container with water.
3. Place one object at a time into the bin. 4. Record your results! For each item: Did it sink or float? Did you notice anything that was the same about the objects that floated? Or the ones that sank?
