Year 2 have been exploring floating and sinking over the past few weeks. This week the children were able to test their ideas using a range of objects.
Challenge 1 – how do you make an orange sink?
Challenge 2 – how can you use salt to make an egg float?
Challenge 3 – which objects will sink and which objects will float? Why?
Challenge 4 – can you make play dough float?
“We all had a turn at each activity. I liked trying to make the orange sink and I was shocked when Miss Brown revealed the answer!”
“I loved trying to make my egg float and it worked. It was lots of fun making different shapes using playdough.”
So how do you make an orange sink?
