Let's have some fun while we're stuck at home! Get an adult to help you with this sink or float science experiment!
You can use items straight out of the kitchen for our sink float water science activity. Grab different fruits and vegetables, aluminum foil, aluminum cans, spoons {both plastic and metal}, sponges. You could also test peeling your vegetables or slicing them. Plus I am sure your child will be able to come up with other fun things to test! This is so simple but very engaging for young scientists.
A couple of interesting things we tested in our sink float water activity were the aluminum can and aluminum foil. We noticed the can floats, but when pushed under will sink. We could see the air bubbles coming out that helped it to float. The aluminum foil floats when it is flat, when it is crunched into a loose ball and even a tight ball. However if you give it a good pound to really flatten it, you can make it sink. Removing the air will sink it.
Have fun in your kitchen sink!
