Sink or Float

Program Information

This sink or float program can be run in a few different ways. For early elementary or kindergarten prep, discuss sinking vs. floating or show a video. Ask the children to predict if they think a variety of objects will sink or float, then test each one in the tub of water. Discuss and record together. Older children can design their own boats to see which one holds the most weight in water. Other simple craft options include origami boats and tiny cork boats.

Suggested runtime: 30–60 minutes.
