SINK or FLOAT
Sink & Float
Theory :
• Density & Buoyancy
Application:
• Swimming
Materials needed:
*prepared at home before class begin*
• waterproof toys and household items
• a container to do the experiment in i.e. plastic tub, basin, pot, bucket
• Promote scientific thinking: predictions, observations, comparison, reasoning, data gathering, experimentation and evaluation
• Ask children if they know what it means to float. Relate this concept to swimming or bathing in a bathtub.
• Kids will learn about density & buoyancy as why some objects float and some do not
