Floating and Sinking

We have been doing some experiments in Class 1P.  Today we were finding out about tings that float or sink. 

We all thought that the ball would float and it did.

What a surprise when the peedie drawing pin sank right to the bottom of the bucket.

Some of us thought that the timer would sink but surprise surprise it floated on the top.

That wooden dice felt heavy but it floated.  I wonder why.

The big pair of scissors sank and so did the little pair!

Surely the huge can of shaving foam would sink.  At least that's what most of us thought, but guess what.  It floated!


Let's do some more watery experiments.  They're fun
