What types of shapes can float?
How can you make a boat out of clay? Out of tin foil?
How many counters can you add before your boat sinks?
We learned that if you make your boat thin and keep the sides up, it floats better. You have to be very careful to balance the weight you add to your boat. We also learned how important it is to work slowly and keep trying!
We read Mr. Gumpy's Outing by John Burningham and Who Sank the Boat? by Pamela Allen to inspire our scientific exploration!
 |
| We explored many different objects to see what would sink and what would float. |
 |
| After we experimented, we recorded our findings. |
 |
| We still wonder...why does a sweet potato float and a regular baking potato sink?..... |
Watch and learn!
