It’s all about density in this sink or float Science experiment!

WHAT MAKES AN OBJECT FLOAT?

Investigation 1: Does an orange sink or float? How does peeling an orange effect it’s density? Using the scientific method, students made a hypothesis, Measured, and collected data during this investigation! You can imagine the sweet citrus aroma that filled our classroom!!

Investigation 2: Don’t sink the boat challenge!

Adding coins to the boats increased the density of the boat. When the density of the coins and boat is greater than the water, the boat sinks. Students added as many pennies as they could before their boat sank! One student counted 28 pennies!
