Sophie's Science Project

Will it float or sink? That's what Sophie was wondering when she planned her project. She gathered a selection of items and recorded them on a sheet of paper then tested each item out to see if it floated or sank in a bucket of water. Sophie recorded her findings using a code of F for floated or S for sank.

Sophie found some things sank straight away while others floated but some sank after first floating for a while!

Sophie's project generated a lot of interest from other children and it was great to see them trialling different objects and the interesting conversations that flowed. Lots of scientific thinking!
