There will be a large bowl filled 3/4 with water and the students will pick various items to put into the bowl to see if they will sink or float. They will record the results on a chart.

Timing: 20 minutes.

The students will discuss with the teacher about the previous activity and will confer answers. The students will then watch a video about why things sink or float in water.

Timing: 15 minutes.

The students will be in assigned groups and each group will receive a piece of paper with the words sink and float on it. Each group will get 10 pictures of items in which they will stick the images under whatever title they think is suitable to each item.

Time: 15 minutes

The students will gather around a table and they will engage in the experiment by firstly adding the syrup into the glass, then the washing up liquid, the coloured water and finally the cooking oil before adding in each item in the video shown previous such as blueberries, tomato and a cork to test which item is the most dense.

Time: 15 minutes.
