Floating and sinking 

 

Can you find some objects around your house/garden that float or sink? 

Make a prediction (a really good guess) nd then carefully test them to see if they float or sink. 

Below is a table which you might like to use to record your findings.

 

*Please be careful and ask an adult first before testing any objects!*

 

Extra Challenge

 

Choose a material that floats and use it to make a boat and test it to see if it will float across the water.
