Science - Floating or Sinking

The children are going to find out which objects can float or sink.
You can choose your own objects or use those suggested on the
worksheet. I wonder if you will discover some surprises along the
way?

Please follow the instructions on the slides below to guide you
through the experiment.

                                                Discussion points:
                                                What can you tell me about this object?
                                                Do you think this will sink or float?
                                                Can you predict what will happen?
                                                What can you see?
                                                What has happened?
                                                Which is the heaviest/ lightest?
Floating and Sinking Experiment

1.   First begin by showing your child the floating and sinking pictures below. Ask them if they can tell you about the
     different objects. Encourage your child to talk about the position of the different objects in the water and the
     reasons behind this.

2. Use this to assess their existing knowledge of floating and sinking.

3. Explain that the heavy objects have sunk to the bottom of the sea and the lighter objects have floated on top of the
   sea. Ensure that your child understand the words float and sink.

                                                                                                    Talk about the
                                                                                                    differences between
                                                                                                    these two pictures.
4. Explain that you are going to find lots of objects, to test if they float or sink.

5. Give your child the opportunity to explore the objects, allowing them to pick up
   and compare their different weights.

6. Look at the recording sheet together and explain how it will be used. You could
   find some unusual objects to test. Draw and write their name label (phonetically,
   if possible) in the boxes provided.

7. Select the first object from the collection and ask your child to think about what
   will happen when it is placed in the water. Ask the reasons behind their
   prediction.

8. Ask your child to put the object in the water and ask what they can see.
   Encourage your child to use the vocabulary float and sink.

9. Ask why they think the object has floated/sunk? Did it support their
   predictions?

10. Support your child with recording the result on their sheet.

11. When all of the objects have been tested ask your child to look at their sheet
    and tell you some of the objects that floated or sunk. Did any surprise them?
Place a tick in
one of the boxes
as you test the
object.

  You could try
