Floating and sinking











Room 3 tried floating and sinking plastic bottles-first with nothing in them,then with water in.

We didn't have much luck sinking those in our school pool!

Then we made some predictions as to which household items might sink or float.

Most children were surprised when a tennis ball,lemon and apple all floated-we talked about them having lots of air inside to be able to do this and their weight compared to water.
