Floating and sinking

To continue the adult led learning we completed in school i would like the children to complete their own experiment at home. Please can they have a small bowl of water and a selection of objects. 

Please make a sign one which says SINK and one says FLOAT. One object at a time place into the water and then put under the correct sign, did it SINK or FLOAT. 

 

Extension: encourage children to draw their findings. Children who will start school in September, can you begin to write/form some of the letters in the names of the objects.
