This is a fun activity that you can do with your kids that requires no special equipment whatsoever!!! Just fill your sink up with water and have your kids find various items (that you don’t mind getting wet) and plop them in. You can then proceed to tell them about density and why certain things float and why others sink.
This stick is not very dense so it floats!
You can’t see it in there, but they also threw a rock that was very dense!!! 🙂 They had so much fun with this experiment!!!
Go out, play and have a Happy Day!!! 🙂
